    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!

    The Art of the Composed Salad: When a Salad Becomes a Meal

    Composed salads that combine protein, healthy fat, fiber-rich vegetables, and complex carbohydrates in a single meal represent one of the most nutritionally complete meal formats available. The combination of protein and fiber produces a more sustained satiety response than either alone, while the variety of vegetables in a well-constructed composed salad delivers a broader range of phytonutrients and antioxidants than any single-vegetable preparation. The Niçoise, for example, provides complete protein from both tuna and eggs, omega-3 fatty acids from the olive oil and the fish, significant fiber from the green beans and potatoes, and the specific antioxidants of the olives and anchovies — making it one of the more nutritionally complete single-dish meals in any culinary tradition.

    Chopped Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich

    Using shredded rotisserie chicken breast keeps this sandwich high in lean protein while minimizing prep time. Chopping the chicken small and tossing it with the dressing means you achieve maximum flavor coverage with a modest amount of ranch—more flavor, less dressing overall than a sandwich where ranch is applied separately to each component.

    Jack in the Box Teamed Up With Hot Ones — And You Have Until July 22 to Try It

    Spicy food has a few genuine health benefits — capsaicin, the compound that creates heat in chili-based sauces like the Hot Ones Sriracha, has been linked to temporarily boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. That said, the sandwiches in this collab are still high in sodium and saturated fat. The Jr. Chicken Sandwich at $3.99 is a meaningfully lighter option than the full Chick-N-Tater Melt, delivering the Hot Ones Buffalo flavor experience with less overall calorie and fat load. And if you’re adding The Last Dab Apollo — the 3 million Scoville hot sauce — start with a tiny amount; a little goes a very long way.
