Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a pan with olive oil.
  • Add all pesto ingredients to the bowl of a food processor: cilantro, cashews, jalapeño, garlic cloves, lime juice, olive oil, water and salt and pepper. Process until a smooth paste.
  • Transfer pesto to a large bowl and stir in the shredded chicken, Classic Caraway Kraut, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
  • Scoop centers from zucchini while leaving a 1/4-inch rim to create boats. Place zucchini in the greased pan.
  • Spoon the pesto chicken mixture evenly into zucchini boats. Top with mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes.
  • Cover with foil, and bake for 35-45 minutes, until cheese has melted and zucchini is tender. Drizzle with pesto to serve.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

You can use 1 cup store-bought pesto or your favorite pesto recipe. For a vegetarian version, substitute chickpeas, cooked quinoa or even tofu for the chicken.
