For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a richer sauce, you can use regular cream of mushroom soup instead of the low-fat version. To prevent the zucchini from becoming soggy, you can lightly salt the inside of the zucchini boats after scooping out the seeds and let them sit for 10 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel before filling. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Zucchini: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Halve the zucchini lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, creating a boat-like cavity. (5 minutes)
02
StepCreate the Chicken Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well to ensure a cohesive filling. (5 minutes)
03
StepFill the Zucchini Boats: Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the zucchini halves, mounding it slightly. Place the filled zucchini boats on a baking sheet. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake to Tender Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until the zucchini is tender and the filling is golden brown, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. (20-30 minutes)
05
StepSauté the Mushrooms: While the zucchini bakes, heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
06
StepPrepare the Creamy Mushroom Sauce: In a separate saucepan, gently warm the cream of mushroom soup over medium-low heat. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sauce. (5 minutes)
07
StepAssemble and Serve: Once the zucchini boats are baked, spoon the creamy mushroom sauce generously over each boat. Serve immediately and savor the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
