  • 2 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 4 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • sea salt and fresh pepper to your taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees f. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and break it apart with a wooden spoon.
  • Cook for 7-9 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  • In a small bowl, whisk all the Buffalo sauce ingredients.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the buffalo sauce.
  • Meanwhile, cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise.
  • Use a spoon to scoop the seeds and center out of each zucchini half,
