Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini Boats Base

  • 4 medium zucchinis
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Natural Alfredo Sauce

  • 1 cup plant-based cheese blend
  • 1 cup natural Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)
  • 2–3 tablespoons water or plant-based milk alternative (if needed to adjust sauce thickness)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese blend (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Zucchini Boats: Slice the zucchinis lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and some flesh to form hollow boats. Lightly brush them with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until tender yet firm enough to hold the filling, about 15 minutes.
  2. Make the Chicken Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add shredded chicken, chopped spinach, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and cook until heated through. Incorporate chopped fresh basil and parsley for brightness, then remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Natural Alfredo Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the plant-based cheese blend, natural Alfredo sauce, and natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water or plant-based milk alternative as needed to achieve desired sauce consistency.
  4. Assemble the Boats: Fill each roasted zucchini boat with the chicken and spinach mixture. Drizzle generously with the prepared Alfredo plant-based sauce and sprinkle the remaining plant-based cheese on top to encourage a melty, golden finish.
  5. Bake and Serve: Return the stuffed zucchini boats to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the filling settle.

Notes

  • Choose firm zucchinis to ensure the boats hold their shape during baking.
  • Do not overfill the zucchini boats to allow cheese to melt and brown properly.
  • Use fresh herbs for optimal flavor brightness in the filling.
  • Allow the boats to rest a few minutes before serving to help layers set.
  • Prepare shredded chicken and chop vegetables ahead of time to speed up cooking day.
