By using zucchini slices instead of lasagna noodles, you can enjoy all the flavors of a classic chicken Alfredo in a lighter, low-carb version.

Ingredients

  • 1 large thick zucchini
  • 2 cups of finely shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken is a good choice)
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store bought)
  • 1 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes or a few sprigs of fresh parsley, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Apply a thin layer of grease to a baking dish and set it aside.
  2. Prepare the Zucchini:
    • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/8-inch thick. Lay the strips on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
  3. Assemble the Roll Ups:
    • Lay a zucchini strip on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce over the strip.
    • Place a small amount of shredded chicken on one end of the zucchini strip.
    • Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken
    • Tightly roll each zucchini strip and arrange them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue with the remaining strips and filling.
  4. Add the Sauce and Cheese:
    • Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the zucchini roll ups in the baking dish.
    • Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and the shaved Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
    • Sprinkle dried or fresh parsley on top for garnish.
  5. Bake the Roll Ups:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the zucchini roll ups cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Conclusion

These Chicken Alfredo Zucchini Roll Ups are a delightful and healthy twist on a classic dish. With tender zucchini, creamy Alfredo sauce, and savory chicken, they make for a delicious and satisfying meal. Perfect for those looking to enjoy a low-carb, flavorful dinner.
