3-Ingredient Flourless Cheesy Chicken Roll-Ups
Prep time: 10 minutes | Bake time: 20 minutes | Servings: 3–4
Ingredients
-
12–15 slices of thin-cut Deli Chicken Breast (This acts as your “flourless” wrap).
-
2 cups shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese (plus extra for the top).
-
1 cup Sugar-free Marinara or Mild Salsa.
-
Optional: Fresh parsley or red pepper flakes for garnish (as seen in your photo).
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a glass baking dish with a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray.
-
Assemble the Rolls: Take one slice of chicken breast and place a generous tablespoon of shredded cheese at one end.
-
Roll it Up: Carefully roll the chicken slice tightly around the cheese. Place it seam-side down in the baking dish so it doesn’t unroll. Repeat until the dish is full.
-
Top it Off: Pour your marinara or salsa evenly over the center of the chicken rolls. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
-
Bake: Place in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and starting to turn golden brown.
-
Serve: Let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Why This Recipe Works
-
High Protein: Using lean chicken as the “wrapper” provides a significant protein boost compared to traditional pasta or flour tortillas.
-
Low Carb: By eliminating flour and sugar-heavy sauces, this dish is very keto-friendly and helpful for those managing blood sugar levels.
-
Versatile: You can easily add baby spinach or thinly sliced bell peppers inside the rolls for extra nutrients.
