Servings: 8 boats
Ingredients
- 4 medium size zucchini
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/2 packet ranch seasoning (about 2 tbsp)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Prep your zucchini boats by cutting them in half lengthwise and removing the guts with a small melon baller or spoon; place them in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- In a medium size pan, cook and chop the chicken on medium heat until no longer pink. Stir the buffalo wing sauce and ranch seasoning mix in with the chicken.
- Stuff the zucchini boats with your chicken mixture and then top with a generous amount of cheese.
- Cover your dish with foil and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve alone or drizzled with ranch dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
- To make these zucchini boats even richer (especially if you’re following a keto diet), you can add more fat to the recipe by mixing in about 4 oz of cream cheese to the chicken mixture.
- Make certain you are using “Buffalo Wing” sauce, not hot sauce.
- You can additionally garnish these boats with blue cheese crumbles and/or green onion.
