Ingredients

Instructions
Creating Zucchini Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Zucchini: Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips. A mandoline slicer works best for even slices.
3. Cook the Zucchini: Lightly sauté the zucchini strips in a skillet with a bit of olive oil for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Assemble the Roll Ups: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture at one end of a zucchini strip. Roll it up tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining strips.
6. Prepare the Baking Dish: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking.
7. Place Roll Ups in Dish: Arrange the zucchini roll-ups seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
8. Top with Sauce: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the roll-ups, ensuring they are well coated.
9. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
