Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes.

Instructions

Prepare the zucchini
Wash the zucchini, trim the ends and slice lengthwise into thin strips about 3 mm thick—a vegetable peeler or mandoline makes this easiest. Drizzle the strips with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let them soften for about 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken, until they are flexible enough to roll.
Season the chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into thin slices about the same width as the zucchini strips, and gently pound them if needed. Season with salt and pepper and rub with grated or crushed garlic. Set aside while the zucchini strips soften.
Assemble the rolls
Place a slice of chicken on each zucchini strip, sprinkle with shredded cheese and add a basil leaf and a little ketchup or pepper paste. Roll up and secure with a wooden skewer or toothpick to keep it from opening during baking. Arrange the rolls side by side in a baking dish greased with the remaining oil.
Bake
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted.
Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes and a vegetable garnish.

Tip: Choose straight, narrow zucchini for even strips that are easy to roll. Pat away the water released after salting with a paper towel before filling, so less liquid collects in the baking dish.
