Chicken Black Bean Bowl Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Chicken Black Bean Bowl Stuffed Zucchini Boats are a nutritionally packed recipe boasting with Southwestern flavors! 

We love to try and eat seasonal, which is why we love enjoying this stuffed zucchini recipe during the summer. Zucchini is at its peak and, boy is it delicious!  We grab 2-3 medium zucchini at the local farmers market intending to make zucchini bread but almost always end up making these zucchini boats instead.

Weeknights get crazy. Who can blame us for turning to this recipe over a bread recipe? All you need is 10-15 minutes, depending on how big your zucchini is and you can have this flavorful and easy meal on the table. This recipe serves one to two people, depending on if you eat it alone or with a side dish.

When we need something fast, we enjoy these as is. However, we love to pair these low carb zucchini boats with a farmer’s market fresh salad to make a quick meal.

To make these ‘boats,’ all you need to do is scrape out the center of your zucchini, stuff them with the Chicken Black Bean bowl, top with cheese and then bake until bubbly! Once they are done cooking, remove them from the oven and then pick them up and enjoy. You can use utensils, but we are all about saving on dishes.

You can use the flesh from the center of the zucchini in your side salad or saute it in a bit of olive oil and serve it alongside your breakfast burrito the next morning for a quick and balanced start to your day. We always talk about eating more veggies with your meals, and this is a great way to do just that!
