Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats

I’m a big fan of stuffed zucchini. The reason is simple. It’s healthy and delicious yet quite simple to make. And, these Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats are what I would like to share today. I make it for family dinner every month and it still gets us hooked. My husband, who is trying cutting the carbs of meals (not on any strict low-carb diet), loves these zucchini boats a lot. They’re low in carb yet good enough to satisfy his taste buds. Well, I make a great job, right?

Zucchini is cut into half, lengthwise, removed seeds and 1/2 of flesh, then filled with cooked buffalo chicken mixture, topped with shredded mozzarella, and finally baked in the oven until soften, and cheese is melted. It comes out cheesy and flavorful, then, makes both kids and adults fall in love with.

To make a good food of your own, the first thing you need to do is to save its recipe. Then, follow detailed instructions whenever you want it to serve at meals. It’s much worth trying, right?
