Stuffed Zucchini With Homemade Tomato Sauce
Stuffing
Miz Helen's Kitchen
Ingredients
4 Whole Zucchini cut in half and cored
3 cups Grilled Chicken chopped in the Food Processor
2 cups Baby Bella Mushrooms Chopped
1 cup Sweet Red Pepper Chopped
 1 cup Black Olives Chopped
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Chopped
2 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
3/4 cup Non Fat Natural Yogurt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Option: Top with Shaved Parmesan Cheese
Sauce
2 cups Tomatoes Diced with Juice
1 cup water
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium Onion chopped
1 cup Fresh Basil chopped
2 Tablespoons Fresh Oregano
or 1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon Anise Seed
Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Chop the Chicken in the Food Processor add all the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  • Scrape the core out of the Zucchini a spoon does the trick (use that core in your cupcakes or bread) and stuff. 
  • For the sauce caramelize the onions then add all the rest of the ingredients.  You may need to add more water, it depends on how much juice  you get from the tomatoes.  You want enough sauce to cover the Zucchini. Bring to boil then simmer for 1 hour.
  • Place the Stuffed Zucchini in a 9X13 baking dish pour the sauce over the stuffed Zucchini and
  • Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Take out of the oven and shave fresh Parmesan cheese over the dish.
I used the left over Grilled Chicken from Sunday to make the stuffing and then used the left over Zucchini chopped up with the sauce for the Thursday menu. It was very good over the Angel Hair Pasta.

I am so happy that you could stop by today. Let me know if you make something from the menu and how it turns out. Hope you will come back soon...
Peace and Joy

  12. Hi Miz Helen and thank you so much for your lovely hospitality! So glad you could join us on the hearth and soul hop this week. As a little greek girl, we had stuffed zucchini often, but this one with chicken and mushrooms looks completely different. That is what I love about cooking, you can take the same main ingredient and create something incomparable! Thanks again for sharing on the hearth and soul hop! alex@amoderatelife

  15. Miz Helen, I'm so glad you linked this recipe to the Hearth and Soul hop this week because my garden is still producing tomatoes and summer squash. Plus, I've got a fancy new food mill perfect for making this sauce!
