  • Olive oil For drizzling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create the boat shape.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stuff the zucchini halves with the chicken mixture.
  5. Place the stuffed zucchini on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and cover with foil.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Serving
  1. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy dinner!
  2. These stuffed zucchini boats are great on their own, or served with a side salad or some crusty bread.
  3. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor before serving.

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the zucchini to keep it tender. Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices for more flavor. You can also make it vegetarian by using black beans or lentils instead of meat.
