- 2 zucchini
- 2 tbsp Mazola Corn Oil
- 3/4 cup grilled chicken breast cubed
- 1/3 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1/3 cup green bell pepper diced
- 1/3 cup red onion
- 1/3 cup fat-free shredded cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
Heat grill to 400 degrees f.
Wash & dry your zucchini.
Carefully slice zucchini down the middle to create two long halves.
Using an ice cream scoop (metal works best) gently hollow out the seeds and softer flesh.
Using a pastry brush, oil all surfaces of the zucchini.
Sprinkle with salt & pepper and grill over medium heat for 5-7 minutes (400 degrees f.).
As your zucchini are grilling, add 1 tbsp of Mazola Corn Oil to a pan, and sautee the peppers, onions, and chicken until tender (about 5 minutes).
Once zucchini are done grilling, stuff with sauteed chicken and veggies.
Top with the fat-free cheese, and then return to the grill and cook for another 5 minutes.
Enjoy warm!
