Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise.
- Score the edges of the squash with a knife then use a spoon to scoop out the inside of the zucchini. Leave an edge of about 1/4 of an inch around the sides.
- Add the squash scooped out of the zucchini to a frying pan on low heat. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir the cooked chicken into the squash.
- Add the butter to the frying pan and once it melts stir in the hot sauce and garlic powder.
- Let the mixture cook for 5 minutes.
- Spoon the mixture carefully into the squash shells, heaping it up to fill them.
- Top the shells with the cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
- Serve drizzled with ranch or blue cheese dressing and extra hot sauce.
Notes
- If you don't have leftover chicken you can use raw chicken. In that case brown the chicken well before stuffing the zucchini.
- You can make these ahead of time and refrigerate before baking. If you do that add 5 minutes to the baking time.
