Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini Boats
  • 4 medium Zucchini The perfect base vessel for your savory filling; substitute with eggplant if desired.
For the Filling
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken Provides hearty protein; rotisserie chicken is a great time-saving option.
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce Adds moisture and delicious flavor; homemade is best for controlling sugar content.
  • 1 cup Cheese (mozzarella/parmesan) Creates a melty, creamy topping; feel free to swap with your favorite cheese or dairy-free alternative.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Enhances the aromatic flavors; customize with herbs you love for a personal touch.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds depth and warmth; fresh minced garlic can be a fantastic substitute.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Chicken Parmesan Zucchini Boats
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your workspace.
  2. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and flesh, creating hollowed "boats." Place on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle salt inside the zucchini boats to draw out moisture; let sit for about 10 minutes and pat dry.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, marinara sauce, and Italian seasoning until well mixed.
  5. Spoon the chicken mixture into the hollowed zucchini, pressing gently to pack it in.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the filled zucchini boats.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until zucchini is tender and cheese is bubbling.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
