• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

8-BALL ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH CHEESY CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Cover chicken breasts with salted water and brine in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Grill until browned and no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• While chicken is cooking, bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut tops off the zucchini and scoop out the seeds. Set aside.
• Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion in the hot butter until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir until browned, about 1 minute. Pour in milk; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir constantly until it starts to thicken. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted.
• Cut cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Stir chicken and rice into the cheese sauce. Fill zucchini with the cheesy mixture and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve.

ZUCCHINI BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
• Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
• Form mixture into small balls (about 1 rounded tablespoon each).
• Place on cookie sheet and flatten slightly, bake for 15 minutes on each side at 350°F.
• Add balls to a marinara sauce and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
• Check during simmering to see if more sauce needs to be added.
• Serve with pasta and sauce.
• **NOTE: If you are going to substitute large zucchini for the small ones called for in the recipe, you should squeeze the grated zucchini dry before adding the rest of the ingredients. Large zucchinis contain much more water than small ones, and may cause the mixture to be too wet to hold together.

ZUCCHINI AND CHEESE
