The chicken and zucchini skewers are tender and delicious meat rolls, with a golden and crispy breadcrumb coating, without eggs, and a tasty and cheesy filling of cooked ham, zucchini, and cheese. I had some chicken breast slices and didn’t feel like making them breaded as a cutlet or roasted, I wanted to prepare something more indulgent for dinner, so I thought of making these stuffed rolls that were a big hit and even Matilde loved them. The chicken and zucchini skewers are super quick and easy to make, perfect with a side of salad or roasted potatoes, they will solve your dinner problem and you can cook them in a pan, oven, on the grill, or in an air fryer, and they can even be frozen to have them ready to cook anytime!

Steps
The chicken and zucchini skewers are very simple and quick to prepare, first clean the zucchini, slice it into very thin strips using a vegetable peeler, and salt.
Take a slice of chicken breast and salt it, then fill it with some zucchini slices, cooked ham, scamorza cheese, and form a roll, continue this way to make the others.
Bread the rolls in cornmeal, skewer them on 3 wooden skewers, and then cut the chicken and zucchini skewers into 3 parts.
Pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a pan, heat it up and cook the chicken and zucchini skewers for about ten minutes on each side over low heat. Alternatively, you can grill the rolls, bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or in an air fryer at 400°F for 15-18 minutes.
Notes:
The chicken and zucchini skewers can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. You can also make them and keep them in the fridge for a couple of days or prepare and freeze them for up to 3 months.
