Ingredients

4 zucchinis
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion
2 cloves garlic
1 lb cooked chicken breast
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper (optional)
fresh basil (optional)

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Halve the zucchinis lengthwise and scoop out the centers, leaving sturdy shells.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic for 4 minutes.
Stir in the cooked chicken, marinara sauce, salt, and pepper and heat for 5 minutes.
Arrange the zucchini shells in the baking dish, fill them with the chicken mixture, and cover the dish with foil.
Check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 165 F before serving.
Bake for 25 minutes, remove the foil, add the mozzarella, and bake for 8 minutes until melted.
