  • 1/3 Cup Bleu Cheese Crumbles

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 and heat up the grill to medium high heat.
  • Rinse and dry the zucchini. Slice into 1/4 inch rounds. Place in a medium bowl and toss with olive oil, a dash of salt and pepper, and garlic salt.
    3 Zucchinis, 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Salt + Pepper, 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Salt
  • Grill until grill marks appear, flip and grill again, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cookie sheet.
  • In another bowl, combine the chicken and barbecue sauce until sauce is evenly distributed.

  • Remove the zucchini chips from oven. Cover with shredded cheese, the bbq chicken, then top with blue cheese crumbles, black beans, diced tomatoes and grilled corn.
    3/4 Cup Cheese, 1/3 Cup Bleu Cheese Crumbles, 1 Can Black Beans , 1 Large Tomato, 1 Ear Grilled Corn
  • Place in the oven for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. I like to turn my oven to broil for one last minute to get the cheese nice and bubbly!
  • Remove from oven and serve with an additional drizzle of bbq sauce and bleu cheese dressing and sprinkle with the diced tomatoes, onions and cilantro!
