Chicken Zucchini Boats


  • Author: Dulcia
  • Total Time: 45min
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 zucchini 🥒
1 tbsp oil 🛢️
1 lb ground chicken 🍗
⅓ cup + 1 tbsp honey 🍯
⅓ cup soy sauce 🌿
3 tbsp ketchup 🍅
2 tsp rice vinegar 🍚
½ tsp sesame oil 🌾
6 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
½ tsp red pepper flakes 🌶️
7 green onions, diced 🌱
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds 🌼


Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 🔥

2️⃣ Cut zucchini lengthwise and scoop out the centers, discarding them. Brush the zucchini with oil and place them face down in a casserole dish, ensuring the peel is on the outside. Use two dishes to avoid crowding and sweating the zucchini. 🥄

3️⃣ Bake the zucchini in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. ⏳

4️⃣ In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Mix well. 🍯🥢🍅

5️⃣ Set a large rimmed skillet over medium heat and cook the ground chicken, breaking it into little pieces using a spatula. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and all the liquid has evaporated, about 6-9 minutes. 🍗🍳

6️⃣ Stir the garlic sesame sauce into the skillet. Toss the mixture until the chicken takes on the color of the sauce. Allow it to simmer and cook until most of the liquid is thick and absorbed by the chicken. 🌶️🍲

7️⃣ Stir in diced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. 🌱🌼

8️⃣ Remove the roasted zucchini from the oven. Fill each zucchini shell with the ground chicken mixture. 🥒🍗

Enjoy your Chicken Zucchini Boats! 😋
