Chicken Enchilada stuffed Zucchini Boats

This is a great low carb recipe or even just for those of you who are trying to lose a few pounds.  It does require a bit of work, but if you want to make it easier you could buy a can of enchilada sauce and some pre-cooked chicken.

Filling:
2 chicken breasts, poached and shredded
1/2 c. onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. bell pepper, diced
1/4 c. chopped cilantro
1 t. cumin
1/2 t. oregano
1/2 t. chili powder
Mix well.



Enchilada Sauce:
1 1/2 c. tomato sauce
1 or 2 T. chipolte chile in adobo sauce
1/2 t. chili powder
1/2 t. cumn
2/3 c. chicken broth
Put all ingredients into a saucepan.  Bring to a boil, simmer for 5-10 minutes.

4 medium zucchini
3/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Cut zucchini in 1/2 lengthwise.  Using a spoon, scoop out the zucchini pulp, leaving a 1/2" border.


Put the zucchini in a 13 x 9 baking dish.  Fill with the chicken filling.  Top with 2-3 T. sauce and then cheddar cheese.  Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
