Is it possible to combine two dietary products such as chicken and zucchini to make a delicious dish? Perhaps it is difficult to find a more harmonious combination of this duo than boats stuffed with chicken and vegetables.
Zucchini boats with chicken filling
Cooking this dish is easy, it does not need to be stewed for a long time. Chicken and vegetables are lightly fried in advance in this option, then everything is brought in the oven until cooked.
To prepare stuffed boats, you should prepare products:
- 2-3 young dairy zucchini zucchini;
- 2 carrots;
- 1 large stalk of leeks;
- 300 grams of chicken fillet;
- 2-3 juicy tomatoes;
- marjoram;
- 150 grams of Parmesan;
- vegetable oil;
- greens.
Cooking stuffed zucchini zucchini
Cut the white part of the leek stalk into circles and brown in a pan with sunflower oil. The chicken fillet must be washed, dried and cut into thin, narrow slices. Add the meat slices to the fried onions, and while stirring, seal all the slices so that they are only slightly browned, and all the juice remains inside.
Peel the carrots and cut into thin strips, then add to the fried chicken. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
For carrots, you can use a Korean grater, so all the slices will be uniform in width. The carrots will look more attractive.
Dip large juicy tomatoes in boiling water to facilitate peeling. Peeled tomatoes should be cut into slices and added to chicken meat. To give the dish a special piquancy, it is necessary to supplement it with seasonings. In this case, it will be marjoram. He will give the whole dish a special aromatic note.
Young dairy zucchini must be cut carefully along the growth line into two boats. With a spoon, scoop out the flesh of the courgette a little so that you get a small depression for the filling. Fill the boats with prepared minced meat from fried chicken fillet and vegetables so that the filling rises slightly above the level of the zucchini cut.
Place the stuffed boats on a baking sheet or skillet and place in a hot oven to bake for 15 minutes. When the zucchini is baked, immediately place them on the prepared dish and decorate.
Boat decoration
Any other hard cheese can be used in place of Parmesan.
Cut thin rectangles-sails from a piece of hard cheese. There should be as many of them as you have got boats. The rest of the cheese can be grated with fine shavings and sprinkled on each boat.
Next, you will need wooden skewers. They will serve as the basis for the sails. On each skewer, put a rectangular slice-sail, piercing it in two places. Then stick the resulting structure into each boat.
This same recipe can be used to make zucchini casks. Only in this case the zucchini will have to be cut across and formed into cups, and the bottom should be cut off a little for stability. The zucchini will turn out not baked, but stewed, you just need to pour tomato juice into a brazier or goose pan.
