Chicken Rollatini stuffed with zucchini, mushrooms, and mozzarella

9 Sep

I’m always on the prowl for a quick, healthy meal that’s tasty. I came across this winner on a friend’s Pinterest board.

If you don’t know about Pinterest.com, you need to. I recently joined and have been obsessed ever since. According to their Website: Pinterest is a virtual pinboard a place to share all the great things you find on the web.

Think of it as visual bookmarking. I use it to create and organize collections of my favorite recipes. You can request an invite from Pinterest or if you know someone already on it, they can send you an invite directly. (I’ll share as many invites as I can!)

Back to the healthy deliciousness of these rollatini…

I halved the original recipe as I was cooking for two. One rollatini might be enough if you have a hearty side(s), otherwise two will satisfy with a light side.

The dish was very easy to put together and surprisingly flavorful. When I first looked at the ingredients, I was a bit skeptical, wondering if this healthy preparation would turn out bland or dry.

To my pleasant surprise, it was the complete opposite. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cheesy-veggie filling was … well… cheesy goodness. And I was quite happy with my addition of mushrooms and basil. No need for sauce here.

My favorite part was the crunchy parmesan-breadcrumb crust… actually the part leftover in the pan 🙂  Anyone else love those crunchies???

Mike and I both gave it two-thumbs up. This dish will definitely enjoy regular rotation in the weeknight line-up.
