[2 SP per serving] We've all seen stuffed peppers and stuffed jalapenos, now it's time for a stuffed zucchini! The texture of the zucchini after being roasted will still have a nice bite that stands up to the cheesy gooey filling inside. It's a perfect lunch for you to have when you want something a little out of the ordinary. The filling on the inside is just perfect and really comes together with all of the flavours. It's almost a chicken vegetable medley with cheese and sour cream holding everything together. If you have extra points, I certainly advise adding bacon as it's a perfect addition to this. Aside from adding sour cream, you could do a light drizzle of ranch on top just to make the flavours pop that much more!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and cut the zucchini you’re using in half lengthwise. The longer the zucchini the better for this recipe.
- Using a spoon, scoop out most of the zucchini until you’re left with a shell about ½ – 1 cm thick.
- Season each boat with salt/pepper and place them in the oven. This allows the zucchini to cook down a little while you prepare the filling. This should take about 20 minutes. If you have not cooked your chicken breasts, they should take about 20 min as well.
- Shred your chicken using two forks to pull the meat apart. Measure out 6 oz.
- Cut up your broccoli florets until they’re bite sized.
- Combine the chicken and broccoli with sour cream to keep them moist and creamy. Season in this step as well.
- Once the zucchini has had a chance to cook, take them out and add your chicken and broccoli filling.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top of your chicken and broccoli and pop them back into the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and browning.
- Garnish with chopped green onion and enjoy.
