Isn’t that the best combination? It’s not just simple rice and chicken. The rice is so sweet and satisfying. Well enough of bragging on this recipe. Let’s get to making it!
How do I make the zucchini boats?
Well, making the zucchini boats is so simple. The only thing you would need is a zucchini corer, but if you don’t have that lying around. Just use a knife and a spoon to cut the seeds out. Be careful and gentle because you don’t want to snap the zucchini in half.
What type of chicken do I use?
For this particular recipe, I used chicken tenders. I also have used chicken breast before. Once I chopped the chicken tenders up into small pieces. I do this so that it will fit into the zucchini boat but I don’t cut the chicken so small until the chicken isn’t even enjoyable.
What type of rice do I use?
I used Uncle Ben’s ready rice. The whole grain brown rice to make this recipe. You can cook any other rice on the stove if you prefer that for this recipe. I used the 90 second Uncle Ben’s rice because it was quick and easy! Who doesn’t love quick and easy?
