INGREDIENTS

  • 4 medium zucchini sliced in half lengthwise (try to find zucchini that are similar in size)
  • 1 1/2 lbs cooked shredded chicken breast or rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup paleo mayo
  • 1 cup coconut cream or Greek Yogurt (Note 1)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried chives
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup hot sauce (we used Frank's Red Hot) use less if you want it less spicy

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a large baking pan with foil. Set aside.
  • Use a large spoon to hollow out the centers of each zucchini half, leaving about 1/2-inch rim to create boats. Place the hollowed out zucchinis on the large baking pan lined with foil. Set aside.
  • Add the shredded chicken, mayo, coconut cream, garlic powder, dill, chives, paprika, lemon juice and hot sauce to a medium bowl and mix well until combined.
  • Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly into prepared zucchini boats then bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the buffalo chicken is just slightly browned on top.
  • Top with a paleo-friendly ranch (we like Tessamae's), fresh chives, parsley or scallions.

Recipe Equipment

Sheet pan or baking dish

Notes

Note 1. Cream or Yogurt. Coconut cream is the thick part off the top of the can of full-fat coconut milk. You can also use plain Greek Yogurt or plant-based Greek yogurt.
Cream Cheese: this recipe doesn't call for cream cheese, but you can swap the mayo and cream/yogurt for 8 ounces of softened cream cheese or dairy-free cream cheese (we like Kite Hill).
