Sticky BBQ Chicken Zucchini Boats are a delicious and healthy meal. Tender chicken coated in savory BBQ sauce is baked inside fresh zucchini halves, topped with melted cheese and green onions. This easy recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium zucchinis
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides to create boats.
  3. Brush the zucchini halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well coated.
  5. Fill each zucchini boat generously with the BBQ chicken mixture.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filled zucchini boats.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until zucchini is tender and cheese is bubbly.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and optional red pepper flakes.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, fresh zucchinis for the best texture.
  • Experiment with different BBQ sauce flavors.
  • Add other vegetables to the baking sheet for a one-pan meal.
  • For a vegetarian option, use cooked quinoa or diced vegetables instead of chicken.
  • Add diced jalapeños for a spicier dish.
  • Try different types of cheese like pepper jack or feta.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • Freeze individually wrapped boats for up to 2 months.
