Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- To create the boats, half the zucchini lengthwise and using a spoon, scrape the insides leaving a ¼-inch rim. Reserve the zucchini center to use it later on.
- Lay the zucchini boats, cut side up onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spray with a tiny bit of avocado oil cooking spray and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute, then add the ground chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook the meat for 6-7 minutes, or until fully cooked through, stirring occasionally and mincing it with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the zucchini center, buffalo sauce, and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
- Divide the buffalo chicken filling among your zucchini boats. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the zucchini boats warm.
Notes
- serving size is half stuffed zucchini. so one zucchini boat
- you may use shredded rotisserie chicken to save on time. they are just as delicious.
- if you prefer using the yellow zucchini that's perfectly fine
- you may use any of your favorite low sugar buffalo sauce.
- garlic: if you don't have any fresh garlic, use 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- you may store any leftover zucchini boat in the fridge for up to 2 days.
