Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized zucchini
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 1.25 lbs raw chicken)
- 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 2-3 charred Hatch green chile peppers, seeds removed and chopped (or 1 (4.5-ounce) can diced chiles)
- ½ cup low-fat sour cream
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (15-ounce) can red or green enchilada sauce
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- Chopped cilantro and sliced avocado, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove zucchini stems and slice in-half, lengthwise. Using a melon-baller or spoon, scoop out and and discard the seeds, careful not to puncture the bottom or sides. (The boats should be approx. ¼-inch thick.) Arrange in a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add chicken, onion, chile peppers, sour cream, cumin, chili powder, garlic salt and black pepper. Stir to combine. Portion a heaping ½-cup of mixture into each zucchini boat.
- Pour enchilada sauce on top, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbly.
