ZUCCHINI CANNELLONI WITH CHICKEN

---

I actually wanted to stay on the green color of the zucchini that I used and use maximum of green veggies and herbs in my plate!

So here's a little bit of the ingredients you will need if you wish to reproduce my entry!

• Zucchini / Cucumber / Chicken / Carrot
• Parsley / Garlic / Onion / Mint
• Olive Oil / Coriander / Salt / Pepper
• Mayonnaise / Ketchup

---

As usual I will share a lot of photos in this post for everyone to get a better idea of the process!

So yes, I started by boiling the chicken and cut in small pieces.

Then I cut the different garnishes that will go in the chicken mixture.

---

Put all the above ingredients in a bowl and add mayonnaise and ketchup. Check the seasoning, add little salt and pepper.

Keep aside.

---

---

Next I finely sliced the cucumber and seasoned with salt, sugar and little vinegar - I let them marinate until maximum water is released, like a pickle.

---

Then I sliced the zucchini and blanched in salty water until soft - that we can roll for the cannelloni!

---

---

Delicately take out the seeds from the cooked zucchini and cut them regularly.

Then start placing the zucchini on a plastic film as you can see below.

---

This step is quite delicate...turn over the sliced zucchini with the help of the plastic film.

---

Put the chicken mixture on the zucchini slices and roll like a cannelloni...

---

---

---

Plating...

Now it was time for my most favorite part of cooking - PLATING!!!

So I started by placing the pickled cucumber like a carpaccio on the plate...

---

Then will all precautions I placed the cannelloni on top of the cucumber carpaccio...

---

Then it was freestyle as usual...

While plating, I noticed that there were bits and pieces of zucchini that was left over...

So I take them and crushed with garlic, onion and mint - to make like a salsa that I put on the dish...

---

And I continue my plating by adding the zucchini salsa and some fresh herbs...
