Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • cups mozzarella
  • ¼ cup parmesan
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice the zucchini into thin, even rounds and lightly sprinkle them with salt, then let them sit for about 10–15 minutes to release excess moisture before patting them dry.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground chicken, cooking it until fully browned and no longer pink while breaking it apart with a spoon.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about one minute until fragrant, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce and add Italian seasoning, mixing everything well and allowing it to simmer for a few minutes so the flavors combine.
  • Lightly grease a baking dish and begin layering by placing a layer of zucchini slices at the bottom, followed by a layer of the meat mixture.
  • Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the meat mixture on top.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.
  • Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5–10 minutes before serving so it sets properly and slices cleanly.
