Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large thick zucchini
- 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 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)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Slice Zucchini: Slice the zucchini lengthwise into ⅛-inch thick slices using a mandolin slicer or a sharp chef’s knife for even, thin strips perfect for rolling.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Spread about 1 tablespoon of Alfredo sauce onto each zucchini slice, then place a portion of shredded chicken on top. Roll each slice up tightly, and arrange them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish to keep them intact during baking.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour any remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the arranged roll ups, then generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top to create a rich, melty topping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden and slightly browned, indicating the dish is cooked through and flavorful.
Notes
- Use a mandolin slicer for uniform zucchini slices to ensure even cooking and easy rolling.
- Rotisserie chicken is recommended for convenience and flavor, but leftover cooked chicken works well.
- Homemade Alfredo sauce adds freshness but store-bought is fine for a quick meal.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the cheesy topping at its best texture.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure your Alfredo sauce is gluten-free.
