Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and gather all ingredients.
  • Slice zucchini thin lengthwise using a mandoline. Each zucchini should yield 18 wide slices (36 total).
  • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, ¼ cup enchilada sauce, ½ cup Monterey jack cheese, and sliced green onions.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Lay out 3 slices of zucchini, slightly overlapping, and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on the edge. Roll up and transfer to the baking dish seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining zucchini and chicken mixture.
  • Spread remaining enchilada sauce over zucchini and top with remaining Monterey jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Garnish with toppings of your choice, and enjoy!
