Preparation and Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the centers, leaving a 1/4-inch rim.
  2. Place zucchini halves in a ceramic baking dish, brush lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 12-15 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Heat remaining oil in a skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper, cook until done, then chop into fine dices.
  4. Toss the diced cooked chicken breast with the thick marinara sauce until well coated.
  5. Spoon the chicken mixture into the zucchini boats. Cover generously with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  6. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese features golden-brown, bubbly charred spots. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
