Servings 6

Ingredients:

• 4 medium zucchini or 8 small

• 1 pound chicken breast

• 1 small can of corn (drained) omit if your diet is strict

•1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1/2 cup onion chopped

• 2 cloves garlic minced

• 1 cup marinara sauce

• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 190 C/375 F. Slice zucchini in half, and carve them out with a spoon. Chop the zucchini ‘meat’ and set it aside. Line zucchini boats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with oil.

2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet. Cook onion for 2-3 minutes or until it begins to golden. Add the garlic and cook for a few seconds. Add meat and cook until it’s no longer pink, 3-5 minutes. Add the marinara sauce, zucchini pulp, italian seasoning and salt + pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.

3. Spoon mixture into zucchini boats and top each with shredded cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until zucchini is cooked and the cheesy is fully melted and bubbly

Enjoy!
