Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini

July 20, 2017 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Right about now, anyone with zucchini in their garden is probably wondering what in the world they are going to do with it all! Of course, there is zucchini quinoa salad, chicken Parmesan zucchini boats and even chicken zucchini fritters. But, you definitely need to save a few so you can make chicken enchilada stuffed zucchini!

Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini

These stuffed zucchini are so quick and easy but are totally full of flavor. You can use green or red enchilada sauce based on your preference. The sauce on these enchiladas would be amazing too.

Ingredients for Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini:

3 zucchini, halved and scooped out
1 cup enchilada sauce
2 tsp oil
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 cup black beans
1 cup shredded cheese
Salt and pepper

Let’s Make It:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom. Place zucchini halves into dish. Set aside.

2. Heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and onion. Cook, stirring to crumble, until done. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup enchilada sauce and black beans. Remove from heat.

3. Spoon chicken mixture into each zucchini half. Top with additional enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

I make this recipe with ground chicken but you could easily substitute shredded chicken, ground turkey, or even ground beef in it. I typically buy whatever is on sale and use it as my filling. I just love that this is a lower carb way to enjoy enchiladas and get my Mexican fix.

Toss some chopped tomatoes on top and squeeze lime a little lime juice on them for an added flavor punch.
