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, then set it aside.
- Slice Zucchini: Using a mandolin or a large chef’s knife, slice the zucchini lengthwise into ⅛-inch thick slices until you have about 12 slices.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Place shredded chicken over each zucchini slice, then top with 1 tablespoon of Alfredo sauce. Roll up each slice tightly and arrange them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll ups, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and shaved Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the zucchini slices are fully cooked and tender.
- Garnish and Rest: Remove from oven and garnish with dried or fresh parsley. Let the roll ups rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use a mandolin for even, thin zucchini slices to ensure quick cooking and easy rolling.
- Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut but cooked shredded chicken works well too.
- Homemade Alfredo sauce can be used for a fresher and creamier taste.
- If zucchini is watery, pat slices dry with paper towels before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the chicken before rolling.
