## Ingredients - 2 count medium zucchini - 2 cup chicken — fully cooked; shredded - 0.22 cup bacon — cooked and chopped about 5 slices - ½ cup cottage cheese — blended - 1 ⅓ tbsp dry ranch seasoning - 1 ⅙ cup shredded cheddar — divided - ⅙ cup green onions — finely chopped ## Equipment - Oven - Baking dish - Mixing bowl - Instant-read thermometer ## Cook Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test. 1. **Boats.** Halve zucchini lengthwise. Scoop out centers to make hollows and arrange in a 9-by-13-inch dish. 2. **Fill.** Stir chicken, cottage cheese, ranch seasoning and green onions with half the bacon and three sevenths of the cheddar. Pack into the zucchini hollows and add the remaining cheddar. 3. **Bake.** Bake 20–25 minutes until zucchini yields to a fork. Add the reserved bacon before serving. ## Attention timeline Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate. ## Flavor and capacity ## Nutrition per serving Calories: 328 kcal; protein: 31.4 g; total carbs: 2.9 g; fiber: 0.1 g; net carbs: 2.8 g Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion. Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact. ## First-cook checks and limits - Original yield 6 corresponds to 6 zucchini boats. Each serving is one half-zucchini boat. - Ingredient quantities are scaled from 6 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks. - Adapted from Annie Holmes. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested. - Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness. ## Leftovers Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate. ## Sources - [Annie Holmes: Cheesy Chicken Zucchini Boats Recipe](https://www.maebells.com/chicken-bacon-ranch-zucchini-boats-low-carb-keto/) - [FoodSafety.gov: safe minimum internal temperatures](https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/safe-minimum-internal-temperatures) These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers.
