Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 6 slices mozzarella cheese
Filling
- 1½ cups cooked, shredded or grilled chicken
- ¼ cup cooked bacon, chopped (2–3 slices)
- 1 tbsp low-carb ranch dressing
- 1 tsp finely sliced green onion
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded or grilled chicken, chopped cooked bacon, low-carb ranch dressing, and finely sliced green onion. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed, then set aside.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Melt the cheese: Arrange the mozzarella slices evenly on the silicone mat. Bake them in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Cool the cheese: Remove the melted cheese from the oven and let it cool for about 1 minute. The cheese should be pliable enough to handle but still warm enough to roll easily without cracking.
- Assemble and roll: Spoon the prepared chicken and bacon mixture onto one edge of each melted cheese slice. Carefully roll each slice tightly around the filling, ensuring the seam side is positioned down on the baking sheet to keep them intact.
Notes
- Ensure the cheese is not cooled too long to avoid cracking when rolling.
- Use cooked bacon and chicken to save time; grilled chicken adds extra flavor.
- Low-carb ranch dressing keeps this recipe keto-friendly.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
- Optionally, garnish with extra green onion or parsley before serving.
