Ingredients
– 2 medium zucchinis
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Olive oil, for cooking
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Zucchini Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Zucchini: Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips, approximately ¼ inch thick. You may want to use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks or your hands.
5. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, minced garlic, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
6. Assemble the Roll Ups: Place a zucchini strip on a flat surface. Add a spoonful of the chicken mixture at one end and roll it up tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips and filling.
7. Prepare the Baking Dish: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking.
8. Place Roll Ups: Arrange the zucchini roll ups in the baking dish, seam side down. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top, ensuring all roll ups are well-covered.
9. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the roll ups.
10. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
11. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
