Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large thick zucchini
- 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store bought)
- 1 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shaved parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried parsley or fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly spray a 9×5 or 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set the dish aside for later use.
- Slice Zucchini: Using a mandolin or a large chef’s knife, carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into ⅛-inch thick slices. You should aim to get about 12 slices from the zucchini.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Place a portion of shredded chicken over one zucchini slice, then spread 1 tablespoon of Alfredo sauce over the chicken. Roll up the zucchini slice tightly to encase the filling and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining zucchini slices, chicken, and sauce.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled roll ups in the baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and shaved parmesan cheese on top to cover the roll ups completely.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the zucchini slices are tender and cooked through.
- Garnish and Rest: Remove the dish from the oven and garnish the roll ups with dried or fresh parsley. Let them rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dish to set.
Notes
- For even slices, use a mandoline, but be careful to avoid slicing fingers.
- You can use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time or cook your own chicken breasts and shred them.
- Feel free to substitute the Alfredo sauce with a homemade version for more control over ingredients and flavors.
- Make sure zucchini slices are thin enough to roll easily without breaking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
