Recipe Description

These Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats are a delicious low carb dish with a spicy kick. I often make this chicken and zucchini dish for dinner on a hot summer day. This protein filled dish is low carb and only requires 4 ingredients.

To make this recipe, cook the chicken until cooked through. Stir in the buffalo wing sauce.
Prepare the zucchini by cutting each one in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds from the center out of each zucchini half, leaving a ¼-inch thick zucchini boat. Place the zucchini in the baking dish and spoon the chicken mixture into the zucchini boats. Sprinkle with cheese and cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 35 minutes.

To make Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats, you will need the following ingredients:
