For the Zucchini Boats

For the Chicken Filling
  • 1 lb Ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

For Finishing

Method
 

  1. Prep the zucchini: Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Slice zucchini lengthwise and scoop out centers, leaving a sturdy shell.
  2. Pre-bake zucchini: Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast cut-side up for 10–12 minutes.
  3. Cook the filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion for 3–4 minutes, then add garlic, chicken, and spices.
  4. Finish the filling: Cook until chicken is fully browned, then stir in olives and remove from heat.
  5. Stuff and bake: Fill zucchini boats evenly, top with feta, and bake 15–18 minutes until heated through.
  6. Garnish: Finish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
