Jalapeño poppers are our favorite appetizers, so naturally, we turned them into an actual dinner. We skipped the frying and put them into zucchini boats for an easy, low-carb take on the favorite we can’t get enough of.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 zucchini halved lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 8 oz block cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack shredded, divided
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 6 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 jalapeños seeds removed and diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides, reserving them for later. Place zucchini halves cut side up into bottom of 9"-x-13" baking dish. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until zucchini turns bright green and is just beginning to soften, 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of each cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in reserved zucchini pieces.
  • Spoon filling into zucchini and top with remaining 1/2 cup of each cheese and bake until cheese is melty, 15 minutes.
