Instructions

Step 1: Slice 3 medium zucchinis lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. Brush both sides of each slice with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 2: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the zucchini slices for 2 minutes per side until tender with char marks, then transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
Step 3: In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast, 4 thinly sliced scallions, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Step 4: Spoon about 1 tbsp of the chicken mixture onto one end of each zucchini slice, then roll tightly to enclose the filling. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Step 5: Serve immediately as a protein-packed, fresh appetizer or refrigerate covered for up to 2 days.
