Pizza night gets a fresh twist with these BBQ Chicken Pizza Stuffed Zucchini Boats. Tender zucchini is filled with smoky barbecue chicken and cheesy pizza flavors for a fun dinner that sneaks in extra vegetables without feeling like a compromise.

Ingredients

  • 4 large zucchini the wider the better
  • 2 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp
  • 1 large clove crushed garlic
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce Gluten Free*
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice your zucchini in half, vertically so you have 8 zucchini boats. Scoop out the insides by cutting around the edges of your zucchini leaving a rim of about 1/4 inch. In a small bowl, mix together oil and garlic. Brush onto each zucchini boat. Grease a large baking dish, and place each of the zucchini boats inside. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the chicken. Cut your chicken breast into small pieces, about 1/2 inch diameter. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat, add olive oil, and toss in chicken. Cook each chicken breast for a few minutes per side, until almost cooked all the way (about 4-5 mins total).
  • Add corn and onion. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes. Toss in BBQ Sauce and coat the chicken and vegetables. Set aside.
  • Remove zucchini from the oven. Place BBQ Chicken mixture inside each zucchini boat. Top with mozzarella cheese and fresh cilantro. Bake another 8 minutes.
  • Remove, and enjoy hot!!

Notes

I like Sweet Baby Ray's brand for a GF version of BBQ Sauce.
