Servings: 4 2 boats = 1 serving
Calories: 388kcal
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis about 12 oz each
- 2 cloves garlic chopped crushed
- 3 tbsp Simple Girl Carolina BBQ Sauce
- 1 tbsp Frank's Hot Sauce
- juice of 1/4 lime
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp pink salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning
- 28 oz cooked chicken breast shredded
- chili powder (to sprinkle before baking)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Cut each zucchini in half long-wise and hollow-out middles using a spoon (see image) – reserve the “guts.”
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, add the zucchini boats, bring back to boil and boil for 3 minutes (you may need to do this in batches). You want them still firm, not soggy/limp. Let them dry cut side down while you are preparing the filling.
- To create the filling, chop up the zucchini “guts” and combine with the rest of the ingredients, mixing well
- Stuff the boats, dividing chicken mixture evenly between the 8 boats. Pack the chicken into the boats and sprinkle some chili powder on top of each
- Bake for 25 minutes on 350 degrees
one serving is 2 boats
