Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

2 zucchinis

3 cups seasoned and cooked chicken, shredded

The ranch mix below

¼ cup red onion, diced

1 rib of celery, diced

2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

3 tablespoons buffalo sauce (or more, to your taste) - I used Franks Red Hot Sauce

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking oil. Set aside.

Cut each zucchini in half horizontally. Then with a melon baller (or spoon) carefully scoop out the center of the zucchini. Reserve ½ cup of the center and dice it up for your filling.

In a bowl, mix together cooked chicken, Ranch seasoning, celery & buffalo sauce.

Place zucchini, hollow side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Fill the boats with your buffalo chicken filling. The filling should be heaping. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. (I left 2 WITHOUT cheese for me to eat)

Bake for about 30 minutes or until the zucchini have achieved desired softness.

*** I also drizzled a TINEY bit of ranch dressing over my families, but not mine. :)
