How To Make Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini

Truthfully, this is a pretty simple recipe to make. We’re simply going to make a chicken cream cheese mixture, spoon it into zucchini and bake. Let’s do it!

Prep Zucchini. Cut them lengthwise and scoop out most of the veggie to make a boat for the chicken.
Buffalo Chicken. Mix up the chicken with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, ranch and buffalo sauce. Scoop it into the zucchini; yes it will be overflowing!
Bake. Cook the stuffed zucchini for 15-20 minutes. Then, while it’s cooking you can make the bleu cheese sauce.
Sauce. Blend your ingredients in a food processor (or blender) until you get a dressing consistency. Of course, if blue cheese isn’t your thing, you can totally skip this and just use ranch dressing.

Ingredients

▢ 3 zucchini
▢ 1 to 2 pounds cooked chicken breast shredded
▢ 1 8-ounce package cream cheese softened
▢ 1 packet (2 Tbsp) ranch seasoning
▢ ½ cup buffalo wing sauce your favorite
▢ 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For blue cheese sauce:

▢ ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
▢ ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
▢ ½ cup milk

Instructions

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Slice zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the middle of the vegetable with a spoon leaving about 1/2 inch along the outside creating a “boat.” NOTE: If you prefer the zucchini to be soft when serving, bake the zucchini boat for 5 to 10 minutes prior to stuffing.
In a stand mixer, combine the chicken, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce and ¼ cup cheese.
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..
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and zucchini is tender.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, blend the blue cheese and heavy whipping cream until thick. Slowly add the milk until the desired consistency is reached. Serve with zucchini boats.
