    Ingredients

    • 4 medium zucchinis

    • 1 cup marinara sauce

    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

    • 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

    • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

    • 0.5 tsp garlic powder

    • 0.5 tsp salt

    • 0.25 tsp black pepper

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a large baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
    • Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the center, creating a boat, then place them in the baking dish.
    • Mix the shredded chicken with marinara sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
    • Fill each zucchini boat with the chicken mixture, ensuring they are generously filled to the top edges.
    • Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the filled zucchini boats, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese.
    • Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella for an extra hint of flavor.
    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until zucchini is tender.
    • Take the dish out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Happy Juneteenth — Here’s How to Celebrate With Food Today

    Juneteenth has a beautiful food tradition worth knowing about — the holiday is historically associated with red foods including hibiscus tea, red velvet cake, watermelon, and red beans, a tradition rooted in West African foodways that carried through generations of Black American culture. Many of these traditional Juneteenth foods are nutrient-rich in their natural forms: hibiscus tea is packed with antioxidants and has been studied for its benefits to blood pressure, and watermelon is a hydrating, vitamin C-rich summer staple. Celebrating with traditional foods today is both delicious and a way of honoring the cultural roots behind what’s on your plate.

    The Hidden World of Umami and the Fifth Taste

    The practical application of umami knowledge has meaningful implications for sodium reduction in cooking. Research demonstrates that replacing a portion of added salt with glutamate-rich ingredients — miso, soy sauce, tomato paste, Parmesan, and other fermented or aged umami sources — maintains perceived saltiness and flavor satisfaction while significantly reducing total sodium content. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that incorporating umami-rich ingredients allowed for sodium reductions of up to forty percent in soups and sauces without any decrease in perceived palatability — making umami literacy one of the most practical tools available for heart-healthy cooking.

    Chicken Spiedini

    Chicken breast is one of the leanest, highest-protein cuts available, and marinating in olive oil and lemon juice rather than heavy sauces keeps this recipe exceptionally clean nutritionally. Oregano is rich in antioxidants and has documented antimicrobial properties—making the herb in this marinade more than just a flavor addition.
