Ingredients
- 3 zucchini
- 300 gms (0.67 lb) cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 250 mls (1.04 cups) salsa verde
- 200 gms (0.44 lb) cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsps chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips about 1/8 inch thick.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, then add cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Lightly grease a baking dish. Place three slices of zucchini overlapping slightly, then spoon some chicken mixture onto one end and roll up tightly.
- Repeat the rolling process until all the zucchini strips and chicken mixture are used.
- Arrange the zucchini enchiladas in the baking dish and pour the salsa verde evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
- These enchiladas swap tortillas for zucchini strips, making them low-carb.
- For best results, use a mandoline to slice the zucchini evenly.
