You guys are loving my Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Soup! It is so easy and loaded with flavor. I wanted to take all of that flavor and pack it into zucchini boats, perfect when you want to get your spicy, cheesy keto kick! This is a great recipe to use a rotisserie chicken to help jumpstart things. Usually ever week I put 2 pounds of chicken in the slow cooker, cook on low 7-8 hours then shred. I use it for recipes like this, soups, salads and low carb wraps.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED FOR BUFFALO CHICKEN ZUCCHINI BOATS?

• Zucchini
• Shredded Chicken
• Cream Cheese
• Ranch Dressing
• Shredded Cheddar
• Buffalo Sauce
• Mozzarella Cheese
• Green Onions (optional)
  

  HOW DO YOU MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN ZUCCHINI BOATS?

  This recipe is very simple and basically has two parts. Firstly, you needs to slice your zucchini lengthwise and and remove as much of the inside of the zucchini as you wish. You want to have a nice well that you can fill with the buffalo chicken.

  Secondly, combine your buffalo chicken filling by mixing the cooked shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese and buffalo sauce together. Stuff the boats with the Buffalo Chicken mixture and top with mozzarella cheese. Then just bake until bubbly and fork tender!

• WILL BUFFALO CHICKEN ZUCCHINI BOATS WORK FOR KETO MEAL PREP?

  Yes, I find this recipe reheats perfectly. I just store in a microwave proof lunch container and heat in 30 second increments until warm. If you want, you can pack a little extra low carb ranch and Radish Chips for a low carb side and a Peanut Butter Fat Bomb to satisfy your sweet tooth! Some other easy keto lunch prep ideas are:

• One Pan Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet. This recipe serves 4 and reheats so well. Serve with small sweet pepper slices and low carb ranch or a side salad.
• Sesame Pork and Green Beans. This recipe serves 4 and comes in at 4.5 net carbs. Since this is my meat and veggie I don’t usually add a side, but I do like to take a little something sweet.
• While I don’t assemble these wraps days ahead of times I do cook the bacon and store in the fridge so they can be prepared in just a few minutes. I love a good crunchy lettuce wrap and this Keto Club Wrap never disappoints.
• This one might just be my favorite, I enjoy it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! These Keto Sausage Egg and Cheese Bites are only 1 net carb each. Make a double batch and you’ve got snacks for days!
