Easy Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats

Zucchini Boats Stuffed with Ground Chicken, Buffalo Sauce, Ranch Seasoning & Shredded Mozzarella 

If you’re looking for low carb and healthy dinner recipes, these buffalo chicken zucchini boats are insanely delicious for having just a few simple ingredients, and you don’t have to be on a low carb or keto diet to enjoy them. Anyone who likes buffalo chicken will want to scarf them down!

Zucchini boats are definitely a fun and exciting way to eat veggies. They are a go-to dinner idea for my family especially with ground chicken or beef because they’re so cheap and easy to throw together on busy weeknights. 

Step 1Start off by prepping your zucchini boats by scraping out the guts with a melon baller or small spoon, and then place them in a greased 9×13 baking dish.

Step 2Cook and chop the chicken until no longer pink and then mix well with the buffalo wing sauce and ranch seasoning; fill the boats with the chicken mixture.

Step 3Top with about 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, cover with foil and bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown.

Enjoy as is or with a little extra buffalo sauce and ranch dressing! You could also garnish with chopped green onion and blue cheese crumbles. If you have a family to feed, a side of buttered noodles or rice makes the meal go a lot further.
