What are Zucchini Boats?

Zucchini Boats are created by slicing a zucchini in half lengthwise and hollowing it out with a spoon. This essentially creates a “boat” for you to fill up the zucchini with your favorite ingredients.

I have found that zucchini is a perfect vessel for stuffing any kind of cheese, meats, or dips into. I regularly choose it over chips, breads, and crackers because it’s a much healthier alternative.

How do you make Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats?

Once you’ve made your “boat”, then combine chicken, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce and ¼ cup cheese in a stand mixer.

Next, spoon the mixture into the zucchini boats, pressing down. Pile extra mixture on top until the boats are overflowing slightly. Add the remaining cheese and buffalo sauce over the top.

Now it’s time to bake for 15 to 20 minutes. You will know it is done when the cheese is melted and the zucchini tender.

How do you make the Blue Cheese Sauce?

In a food processor, blend the blue cheese crumbles and the heavy whipping cream until thick. For the next step, slowly add milk until a desired consistency is reached. Now you are ready to serve your Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats!
