This Keto Chicken Zucchini Boats recipe offers a flavorful and low-carb option, perfect for managing Type 1 Diabetes. The combination of ground chicken, marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese creates a satisfying meal while keeping blood sugar levels in check.
Ingredients: 2 medium zucchinis, halved lengthwise and seeded. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1/2 cup diced onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 pound ground chicken. 1/4 cup marinara sauce sugar-free. 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional.
Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Put a spoon in the middle of each zucchini half and scoop out the flesh. This should leave a shell that is about 1/4 inch thick. Hold on to the meat for now. Set a pan on medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and diced onion. Saut for about two to three minutes, until the onion is soft. For about 5 minutes, break up the ground chicken into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks until it turns brown. Add the marinara sauce and the zucchini flesh that you saved. Add two to three more minutes and cook until everything is hot. Add pepper and salt to taste. Put a little of the chicken mixture into each zucchini boat and press it down gently. Add shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Put the zucchini boats with filling on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Put it in an oven that has already been heated and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the zucchini is soft and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you want, add fresh basil leaves as a garnish before serving.
