Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh, leaving 1/4 inch thick. Chop the scooped flesh and set aside.
- In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add chopped zucchini flesh, green onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook on medium-low for 4 minutes, then add cumin, oregano, chili powder, water, and tomato paste. Mix in shredded chicken and cook for 3 more minutes.
- Place 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each zucchini half with chicken mixture, pressing firmly, then top with 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes until cheese is melted and zucchini is tender.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and scallions, serve with Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired.
