Stuffed with this tasty chicken mixture, it's a meal the whole family can enjoy.
Getting started
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
Scoop the middle part of the zucchini out to create space for the filling.
Bake the empty zucchini boats for 20 minutes.
Start preparing the filling by placing a saucepan on medium heat and adding the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot add the onions and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes.
Add the chopped tomato and shredded chicken.
Add the Collagen and/or Fibre (optional).Remove the zucchinis from the oven once they are done and stuff them with the filling.
Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Annabelle's tip
Rather than waste the Zucchini filling, mince half of it and add it back to the chicken mixture.
