Loaded with flavor, low in calories and high in protein. The perfect easy healthy recipe for a quick weeknight dinner your family will love!
Ingredients:
3 zucchini, halved (seeds removed)
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
½ cup BBQ sauce
⅓ cup shredded mexican cheese
1 avocado, sliced
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
¼ cup diced green onions
3 tablespoons of ranch dressing to drizzle
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Scoop the seeds out of the zucchini halves, leaving a little about a ½" hole carved out of the center (similar to a boat). Place the zucchini flesh side up in a 9x13 casserole dish.
Add shredded chicken and BBQ sauce to a small bowl. Toss to coat all the chicken with BBQ sauce.
Fill the zucchini boats with the BBQ chicken mixture. (about ¼-1/3 cup for each zucchini boat)
Sprinkle with mexican cheese on top.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. (NOTE: I like my zucchini with a bite, if you would like yours more tender bake for an additional 5-10 minutes for desired tenderness)
Remove from oven.
Garnish with avocado, tomatoes, green onion, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Serve.
