Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis, halved and scooped out
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the centers, leaving about 1/4 inch of the flesh. Place them cut side up in a baking dish.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Fill the Zucchini: Spoon the chicken mixture into the hollowed-out zucchinis, packing it in gently. Top each filled zucchini with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
