INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove zucchini stems and slice in-half, lengthwise. Using a melon-baller or spoon, scoop out and and discard the seeds, careful not to puncture the bottom or sides. (The boats should be approx. 1/4-inch thick.) Arrange in a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add chicken, onion, chile peppers, sour cream, cumin, chili powder, garlic salt and black pepper. Stir to combine. Portion a heaping 1/2-cup of mixture into each zucchini boat.
  3. Pour enchilada sauce on top, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbly.
