Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the hot skillet until browned and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Place zucchini in the same nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 4 minutes.
Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast and top with mozzarella cheese.
Broil chicken in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer zucchini to each serving plate and add chicken. Spoon warm marinara over each piece of chicken and top with Parmesan cheese.
