Equipment

Baking sheet
Spoon or melon baller
Mixing bowl
Cheese grater
Knife for slicing olives
Brush for olive oil

Ingredients

4 medium zucchini (about 2 lbs or 900g), halved lengthwise
1 tbsp olive oil 15ml
½ tsp salt 2.5g
¼ tsp black pepper 1g
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded approximately 140g
½ cup low-carb pizza sauce 118ml
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 113g
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 22g
½ tsp garlic powder 2.5g
½ tsp Italian seasoning 2.5g
¼ cup sliced black olives about 30g
Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scoop out the center of each zucchini half using a spoon or melon baller to create a 'boat'.
Brush the zucchini boats with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the zucchini boats on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with pizza sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Remove the zucchini boats from the oven and fill each with the chicken mixture.
Top each boat evenly with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the sliced black olives over the cheese.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving, if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.

If you prefer a crispier zucchini boat, pre-bake the zucchini for 5 additional minutes before adding the filling.
