Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast skinless
  • cups store-bought spaghetti or marinara sauce or homemade tomato sauce divided
  • 3 medium zucchini sliced lengthwise ⅛-inch thick (I used a mandoline to make the zucchini slices.)
  • cups shredded mozzarella divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cooked chicken and 1½ cups of tomato sauce. Stir well.
  • In a casserole dish, spread a ½ cup of tomato sauce on the bottom.
  • Before you start assembling the zucchini rolls, place a piece of wax paper, aluminum foil, or a clean cutting board on the counter, and lay out the zucchini slices.
  • First, spread about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture over each zucchini slice.
  • Then, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese. Save a ½ cup of mozzarella cheese to top the zucchini noodles when you place them in the prepared casserole.
  • Carefully roll them up, and place them in the prepared casserole dish.
  • Top the zucchini rolls with the remaining ½ cup of tomato sauce, and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake covered with foil or parchment paper for approximately 30 minutes. Remove the foil or parchment paper, and bake for 15-20 minutes more until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Try using a different cheese to change the flavour! Try Monterey Jack cheese or sharp cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella.
  • Place zucchini rolls tightly against one another so they don’t unravel as they bake.
  • Don't overstuff the rolls or they'll unroll as they bake.
  • To store: Store leftover chicken zucchini rolls in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat: Reheat leftovers in the microwave or oven until warm.
