Ingredients
- 4 medium/large zucchini
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken use storebought rotisserie chicken to save time
- ¾ cup Red Enchilada Sauce
- ½ cup bell peppers diced small (I used red and yellow)
- ½ cup corn I used frozen straight from the freezer
- 1 cup Mexican shredded cheese blend
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro finely minced
- optionally add or garnish with black beans pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a large baking dish or 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray; set aside.
- Trim ends from zucchini, halve lengthwise, and use a spoon to hollow out centers to create boats, leaving a 1/8-inch margin intact. Discard hollowed out flesh (or add it to homemade hummus or soup).
- Arrange zucchini in prepared dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until softened.
- While zucchini bakes, to a medium bowl add the shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, and stir to combine.
- Remove zucchini from oven and evenly distribute the chicken down the hollowed out portion of the zucchini.
- Evenly sprinkle with bell peppers, corn, and cheese.
- Bake for about 8 minutes or until cheese has melted to your liking.
- Evenly sprinkle with cilantro and optionally garnish with the toppings of your choice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Zucchini are best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
