Ingredients
- 4 Small Zucchinis
- Salt
- ½ cups Plain, Non-fat Greek Yogurt
- ½ cups BBQ Sauce Of Choice
- 1-½ cup Reduced-fat Cheddar Cheese, Divided
- 1 cup Shredded Chicken Breast
- ½ cups Cilantro
- Pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 200ºF and line two baking sheets with paper towel.
Using the 3mm blade (or blade c), spiralize zucchini. Divide zucchini noodles between baking sheets in a flat layer. Sprinkle evenly with salt. (Don’t worry, the paper towel won’t burn at such a low temperature!)
Bake zucchini noodles in the oven for 40 minutes to dry them out. Once cooked, cover with paper towel and press out any excess moisture. Repeat once more with an additional paper towel. Set aside.
Increase oven temperature to 375ºF and place Greek yogurt, BBQ sauce and 1 cup of cheese in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until cheese just begins to break down and look melty and stringy, about 8–10 minutes, whisking regularly.
While cheese melts, toss shredded chicken breast, cilantro and dried zucchini noodles into a large bowl. Lightly cut up the mixture up with a fork and knife to make it easier to evenly mix, as well as cut, once cooked.
Once cheese has begun to melt, pour the sauce over the zucchini noodle mixture and season with a pinch of pepper. Mix well until the sauce evenly coats all the noodles.
Spread the casserole into a casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake until golden brown and bubble, about 20–25 more minutes.
Once cooked, let the casserole cool for 20 minutes (don’t skip this!) to let it set and absorb some of the water. Cut and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce and cilantro, if desired. Devour.
