One of my favorite things about summer produce? Zucchini and summer squash is aplenty and HUGE. When I come across the giant squash at the store, it’s pretty hard, and damn near impossible for me to pass them up. That’s why you’ll see ALL the zucchini and squash recipes that you could ever want in the summer season.

As summer comes to a close, and the squash are dwindling, I decided to give another good zucchini inspired recipe. With some cooked chicken on hand, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats!

These Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats are a real kick in the spice department with all the flavor and heat of buffalo chicken wings along with plenty of veggie goodness and even some blue cheese in there! You get a lot of bang for your buck with these boats too. Considering you’ve got your meat and veggies here, it’s basically a full meal in itself.

Honestly! I didn’t serve mine with anything else on the side, and there wasn’t a single complaint about it.

Though of course if you really wanted to, some celery and carrots with a little ranch dip on the side would be a great choice!

One of my favorite things bout this this recipe, besides it being delicious, is that you can prep it well ahead of time and have it ready to toss in the oven for dinner at the end of the day. No fuss. No muss.

I topped mine with a simple garnish of sliced green onions and called it a day.
