Ladies, today I’m sharing a little recipe that has become my ace in the hole when I want to serve something tasty, light, and super quick: chicken breast rolls with zucchini and ham! They are perfect for a quick dinner, a family lunch, or even prepared in advance for the week’s meal prep.
The great thing is that this easy chicken breast recipe takes very little time and few ingredients. I’ve used a mandolin to finely slice the zucchini — that way, they become thin and cook in a flash. Then I made simple layers: a slice of chicken breast, a zucchini slice, a slice of cooked ham, and a piece of meltable cheese. It’s rolled up delicately, secured with a toothpick, quickly coated in breadcrumbs, and into the pan with a drizzle of oil. A few minutes of cooking, and the result is mouth-watering.
These chicken rolls with zucchini are tender, flavorful, and quite light. The cheese melts inside, creating an irresistible gooey center, while the ham adds an extra touch of taste.
In short, if you’re looking for an idea to cook chicken breast in an original way, these rolls are the answer. Fast, tasty, and with a guaranteed wow effect. Try them and let me know if they haven’t become your favorites too!

Steps
To prepare the chicken breast rolls with zucchini and ham, start with the zucchini: wash them and finely slice them with a mandolin or a knife. Lay down a thin slice of chicken breast and add one or two slices of zucchini, ham, and melty cheese.
Close the chicken breast slice by rolling it on itself and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat the same for all the rolls.
Coat the rolls in breadcrumbs and cook them in a pan with oil until golden brown.
The chicken rolls with zucchini and ham are ready! 😄
