Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In large skillet over medium, heat the oil.

Add chicken breasts and cook for about 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through

Season with salt and pepper then set aside on a board. Once it’s cooled a bit, shred it using 2 forks.

In the same pan add in the onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and spices, then return the shredded chicken to the pan.

Pour in 1 cup of enchilada sauce then stir well until combined.

On a cutting board, lay out 4-5 zucchini slices slightly overlapping each other.

Add spoonful of chicken mixture on top at one end as shown.

Roll up and transfer carefully to a baking dish.

Repeat with remaining zucchini and chicken mixture.

Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.


Bake for approximately 20 minutes and until cheese is melted. 


Enjoy!
