Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced into strips
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or basil), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Zucchini: Slice the chicken breasts and zucchini thinly and evenly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Lightly season the chicken slices with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  2. Sauté the Chicken and Zucchini: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken slices until just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side, then remove and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté zucchini strips until tender yet firm, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan, gently heat heavy cream, minced garlic, and grated parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, forming the rich base for the rolls.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Lay zucchini slices flat, layer with chicken slices, and spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce over them. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the filling. Carefully roll each zucchini slice around the filling and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Bake and Serve: Arrange assembled rolls in a baking dish, pour additional Alfredo sauce on top, and sprinkle extra cheese for a golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin chicken and zucchini slices that roll smoothly.
  • Do not overcook zucchini to keep the rolls from becoming soggy; they should remain tender but firm.
  • Ensure Alfredo sauce is thick enough to hold inside the rolls without running.
  • Chill the assembled rolls briefly in the refrigerator before baking to help them hold their shape.
  • Use fresh garlic in the Alfredo sauce for aromatic depth often missing in store-bought sauces.
