One zucchini plant produced 8 1\/2 pounds last week.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I saw 2 new blossoms on it as well as 2 more on it\u2019s smaller sibling that hasn\u2019t produced yet.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re ganging up on me!

What to do?<\/h4>\n

\"That's<\/p>\n

Anyway, like I was sayin\u2019, zucchini is the fruit of the garden. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There\u2019s uh, zucchini-kabobs, zucchini creole, zucchini gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There\u2019s pineapple zucchini, lemon zucchini, coconut zucchini, pepper zucchini, zucchini soup, zucchini stew, zucchini salad, zucchini and potatoes, zucchini burger, zucchini sandwich.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, last week was zucchini lasagna<\/a> using zucchini as a pasta substitute, so this week I used 3 lbs as zucchini \u201crice\u201d in a garlicky chicken and zucchini stir fry. And the rest got shredded and stored for winter soups (which apparently will have way fewer of other veggies in them since I\u2019ve got so much zucchini, with more on the way from my pregnant plants).<\/p>\n

My basic idea was to make zucchini \u201crice\u201d just as people make cauliflower \u201crice\u201d and use that as a base for a simple stir fry dish.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t actually rice the zucchini, being lazy I figured the simplest way to make a chicken zucchini recipe was to shred it in my food processor.<\/p>\n

Frankly, if instead of chicken zucchini rice, you wanted to do the zoodle thing and make chicken zucchini pasta instead, that\u2019d work too.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m too lazy for that; I make zoodles when the grocery sells them to me pre-cut, and I\u2019m not buying any zucchini for a long, long time!<\/p>\n

As usual, this recipe makes 4 servings, as I\u2019m also too lazy to cook every day.<\/p>\n
