Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the zucchinis lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create zucchini boats. Place them in a baking dish.
- Cook the Filling: In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened. Stir in the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through.
- Stuff the Zucchini: Fill each zucchini boat with the chicken mixture, pressing it down gently. Pour the enchilada sauce over the stuffed zucchinis, making sure they are well coated.
- Bake: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
