• Ladies and Gentlemen, start your appetites.
• I say, with a lot of confidence, that you will love this dish.
• I'm constantly on the creative prowl for new and tasty ways to combine paleo-friendly ingredients in a way that makes people say: "Wow! This is good for me?"
• My answer, typically, is: "Yes, at least a million times better than that pizza you thought about ordering."
• Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables to cook with. It's SO versatile. I use it to make everything from zucchini noodles when I'm craving pasta to my morning egg frittatas when I want a full plate without over-doing my energy intake.
• I decided to stuff my hollowed-out zucchini with shredded chicken (simple how-to directions below). You can use ground meat, if you like. I opted for the homemade shredded chicken because it's healthy, fresh, and versatile. I like to make extra shredded chicken for use in salads later in the week.
• I seasoned the shredded chicken with my go-to Mexican flare.
• To bring the whole dish together and move it from an "Oooh" to an "AHHH!"\nI added bacon.
• That's right. Wrap those stuffed zucchinis with a few pieces of bacon, bake, and let the flavors melt into each other; then BOOM, instant happy family.
• Enjoy!
