Ingredients

  • 4 8 ounce zucchini

  • 1 ½ cup chopped cooked chicken or turkey (about 8 ounces)

  • 1 cup chopped steamed vegetables (such as sweet peppers, eggplant, zucchini, and/or yellow summer squash)

  • ½ cup chopped tomato (1 medium)

  • 6 tablespoon finely shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon Mediterranean seasoning or other herb seasoning blend

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a covered 4-quart Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook whole zucchini in a large amount of boiling, lightly salted water for 5 minutes; drain and cool slightly. Cut a lengthwise slice from the top of each zucchini. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out pulp, leaving about 1/4-inch-thick shells.

  2. In a medium bowl, stir together cooked chicken, steamed vegetables, tomato, 4 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, and the Mediterranean seasoning. Spoon filling into zucchini shells. Place in a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.

  3. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
