Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats from The Food Charlatan.
These low-carb zucchini boats are stuffed with spicy buffalo chicken and topped with creamy ranch (or blue cheese) dressing! This is a great summer dinner to use up those garden zucchini (and not put yourself in a carb coma). It’s pretty easy to throw together. You start by parbaking the zucchini so that it’s easier to scoop the middle out. Then you add the (squeezed out) zucchini to some chicken mixed with Frank’s hot sauce, Greek yogurt, and mayo and stuff it all back in the zucchini.
