Tasty and quick, these chicken rolls in jar cooking. A really light recipe without sacrificing taste. Like the chicken rolls with potatoes and peas in jar cooking, and like the lemon chicken rolls in jar cooking, it allows us to create many recipes, all with an amplified taste, cooked in six minutes and very light. Today I thought of wrapping zucchini sticks with chicken breast slices, seasoned with a little oil, white wine, and spices, and off to the microwave.

This recipe can be kept in the fridge for 15 days, thanks to the vacuum, ready to be heated and served. To add an extra touch to the chicken breast with zucchini, I used Kalamata olives cut into strips, the saltiness of the olives added character to the recipe. Because sometimes, it takes very little to make a dish special. Don’t you think?

The zucchini sticks will add softness to the chicken breast, if you prefer, you can replace them with wedges of artichokes, or pieces of mushrooms, or even asparagus.

With jar cooking roll recipes, you can get creative, try these eggplant rolls in jar cooking, or these loin rolls in a jar, or, again, these delicious beef rolls in jar cooking.

Ingredients to make chicken breast rolls in a jar

3 slices chicken breast (thin, about 3.5 oz total)
1 zucchini (small, about 5.3 oz)
3 teaspoons breadcrumbs (leveled)
6 Taggiasca olives (or Kalamata)
Half clove garlic
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch salt
Half sprig thyme

What is needed to cook in jar cooking in the microwave

You can purchase jars suitable for jar cooking, on the site Decorazioni Dolci, using the discount code WECK10.

1 Jar 500 ml with thin seal
1 Cutting board
1 Knife

Procedure

Wash and trim the zucchini. Divide it in half and then into small sticks. Remove the pit from the olives and cut them into strips, or use pitted olives. Peel the garlic clove and slice it into strips.
Place 3 chicken slices on a cutting board, on each distribute the breadcrumbs, 3 zucchini sticks, and some olive strips.
Wrap the chicken slices to form the rolls. Arrange, as shown in the photo, the rolls in the jar, add some pieces of garlic and olive, place the remaining zucchini sticks among the rolls, salt, flavor with thyme, add the wine, and oil. Clean the edges of the jar well and close with the 4 clips.
Place the jar in the microwave and start cooking for 6 minutes at your tested power, mine at 600 watts.
At the end of cooking, remove the jar from the microwave and leave it closed for 20 minutes. During this resting time, you can see how the rolls will continue to cook, thanks to the vacuum created inside. DO NOT open the jar during this phase, just as you wouldn’t with a pressure cooker.
Once all the jars are ready and at room temperature, you can decide to store them in the fridge, where they will keep for up to 15 days, or consume them immediately.
To enjoy your chicken rolls in jar cooking, just remove the clips and place the jar in the microwave. If cold from the refrigerator, start for a couple of minutes on defrost function, to acclimate the glass. Then, you can set to the tested power for about 3 minutes or until it opens.
