Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and sliced thin

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cheeses & Sauce

  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Herbs & Garnishes

  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Slice zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure they are flexible but hold shape. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, cook until golden and fully cooked through, then slice thinly. Prepare Alfredo sauce and have mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses ready.
  2. Sauté Zucchini and Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly sauté zucchini strips just until tender but still slightly crisp, then remove and set aside. In the same pan, cook chicken with minced garlic until nicely browned and fragrant, building the flavor base for the roll.
  3. Assemble the Roll: Lay the zucchini slices flat on a clean surface, slightly overlapping to form a rectangle. Spread a generous layer of Alfredo sauce over the zucchini, then evenly arrange the sliced chicken on top. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over everything before gently rolling up tightly.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the roll seam-side down in a baking dish. Spread a little extra Alfredo sauce on top and sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese for a bubbly, golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden, bubbly, and cooked through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Let the roll rest for a few minutes after baking to settle its shape. Slice into rounds and garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin zucchini slices to make rolling easier.
  • Do not overcook zucchini during sautéing; it should remain slightly crisp to avoid sogginess.
  • Bring cheeses and Alfredo sauce to room temperature for smoother spreading and better melting.
  • Roll zucchini tightly to keep filling intact during baking.
  • Allow the roll to rest slightly before slicing to help it hold together.
