Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9 x 12" (22 x 30 cm) baking dish.
- Split each zucchini in half, lengthwise, and remove the seeds with a spoon. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Blot off the drops of liquid with paper towels. Place the halves in a greased baking dish.
- In a large pan, warm the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and saute until done. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl to cool.
- Mix the chicken, mayonnaise, cottage cheese, spices, and a third of the grated cheese. Season to taste.
- Distribute the mixture into the zucchini halves and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until the zucchini boats have turned a nice golden color.
- Mix oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper into a simple vinaigrette. Serve the zucchini boats beside a simple salad made with lettuce and vinaigrette.
