Ingredients

1 cup red pepper, diced
1 cup green onion, diced
4 -cans of chicken breast (156 g or 5.5 oz) or use leftover rotisserie chicken, chopped/shredded * about 2 cups
⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce* I use Frank's red hot
½ cup low-fat, fat free cream cheese
½ -package dry ranch dressing mix (28 g)
¾ cup low-fat sharp cheddar cheese
¼ teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon minced garlic
4 medium zucchinis

Garnish

half of the green onions
parmesan cheese (optional)
Ranch dressing *I use Litehouse Homestyle Ranch dressing (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F/205 degrees C. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non- stick cooking spray.
Mix everything (except fresh zucchini and half the green onions) together in large bowl.
Wash and cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Cut off the ends.
Use a spoon to scoop the seeds and center out of each zucchini half, leaving at least ¼ inch thick zucchini boat. Discard
Place the zucchini in the baking dish cut-side up and spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into the zucchini boats. Press the mixture down into the zucchini using the back of the spoon
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making a tight seal around the rim. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until soft enough that fork can easily go into zucchini, but is still firm.

Garnish

Garnish with additional green onion, and then add parmesan cheese and Ranch dressing (optional), if desired.
