Notes
- Choose medium-sized zucchini with a firm texture and even green color so they hold their shape while baking.
- Use a spoon or a melon baller to scoop out the zucchini flesh, leaving a small in tact border around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling over.
- Taste and adjust the spiciness your chicken mixture to suit personal tastes before stuffing inside zucchini.
