• 4 mix the chopped zucchini, sausage, and garlic. stir in the diced bread and moisten with the chicken broth. season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 5 divide the stuffing mixture among the 4 hollowed-out zucchini. place them in a shallow microwave-safe baking dish. add 2 tablespoons of water and cover with plastic wrap.
