Equipment

Baking sheet
Medium saucepan
Spoon for scooping
Knife and cutting board

Ingredients

4 medium zucchini (approximately 1 lb / 450 g)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 1 lb / 450 g)
1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (100 g)
½ cup cream cheese, softened (120 g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil (15 ml)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the zucchini and slice them in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh to create a hollow boat. Lightly brush the zucchini halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the cheeses melt and combine into a creamy sauce. Add the shredded chicken and Italian seasoning, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture generously into each zucchini boat, packing it slightly to ensure a hearty filling.
Place the stuffed zucchini boats in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
