Buffalo chicken and zucchini boats

I actually used ground turkey and it turned out delicious! You could also use leftover shredded chicken, chopped grilled chicken, or even a can of chicken in a pinch.

This is the type of meal that’s super yummy and happens to be low carb!

I love when that happens. Such a great way to use up summer zucchini as well!

    As always, it looks lovely! I’m always hunting down low-carb dinner recipes and I can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!

    What do you do with the leftover zucchini centers?

    • Jennifer

      When I use my spiralizer I just chop that middle peice that is leftover and add it in with the mix. I don’t waste anything.

    • Andrea

      Eat them raw 😊

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      You could always chop zucchini first and put it in with meat. I liked chopped zucchini in spaghetti sauce so I used it for that. Hope that helps.

  3. Takia

    I always live these recipes but I’m a household of 1 and even trying to half the recipe I always end up wasting too much or get tired of it. Looks good through.

    • CO Mama

      You could always quarter or half the recipe, ask butcher for 1/4# or 1/2# ground turkey/chicken & only buy 1-2 zucchini. Just a thought, then you’d possibly have a leftover for lunch or another dinner.

    • mel

      What you could do is just freeze the cooked meat filling and save it for another meal.

      • Linda

        Agree! You could totally freeze the meat and then just buy the zucchini when you need it.

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Thanks Takia! The leftovers were good the next day on this 😋

  4. Patty

    This looks yummy, Do you by any chance do vegan recipes? After watching “What The Health” I am trying to give up meat, Thank you in Advance!

  5. alyssa

    You could slice the zucchini lengthwise making the strips into a pizza crust, first bake them, then add toppings and bake again.

  6. Steph-B

    Yum! Thanks for the quick and easy dinner! Love all the ingredients, should be a hit!
