Instructions
1 Prep the zucchini: Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the centers. Chop the scooped zucchini and set aside for the filling. 2 Pre-bake: Place the hollowed zucchini halves on a baking sheet, spray with olive oil, and bake for 8–10 minutes until just starting to soften. 4 Cook the filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. 5 Add onions and cook 2–3 minutes. 6 Stir in ground chicken, breaking it up as it cooks. 7 Add the chopped zucchini, ranch seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is fully cooked and mixture is fragrant. 8 Stir in buffalo sauce and mix until well coated. 9 Assemble: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly into each zucchini boat. Top with mozzarella and bacon. 10 Bake: Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. 11 Top + Serve: Sprinkle with green onions and serve with a drizzle or side of the high-protein ranch.View original recipe
