Directions
1.
Peel
and
cut
3
cloves
of
garlic
into
large
pieces.
Place
them
in a
large
bowl
with
the
lemon
peel,
rosemary,
bay
leaf,
2
tablespoons
extra
virgin
olive
oil,
1/4
cup
white
wine,
3
tablespoons
fresh
water
and
a
generous
pinch
of
salt.
Mix
all
ingredients
together
well.
Then
add
the
chicken
breasts
to
the
bowl.
Toss
the
breasts
in
the
mixture
very
well
so
that
they
are
all
well
coated.
Cover
the
bowl
and
place
it
in
the
refrigerator
to
marinate
for
at
least
1
hour
or
overnight.
2.
When
you
are
ready
to
make
the
roll-ups,
remove
the
chicken
from
the
refrigerator
and
discard
the
marinade.
3.
Clean
the
zucchini.
Using
a
mandolin
or a
sharp
knife,
thinly
slice
the
zucchini
length-wise
so
that
you
have
long
ribbons
of
zucchini.
Place
the
sliced
zucchini
in a
mixing
bowl
with
a
drizzle
of
olive
oil,
a
pinch
of
salt
and
a
small
amount
of
water.
Toss
the
zucchini
well
in
the
mix
and
set
aside.
4.
Remove
the
bacon
from
its
package
and
slice
all
strips
in
half.
Place
the
grated
grana
in a
bowl
or
on a
plate.
5.
Prepare
a
plate
onto
which
to
set
the
completed
roll-ups.
6.
Remove
one
chicken
breast
slice
from
the
bowl
and
place
it
on a
cutting
board
or
plate.
If
the
breast
is
large,
slice
it
in
half,
length-wise,
so
that
it
is
about
the
width
of
the
zucchini
slice.
Place
one
slice
of
zucchini
on
top
of
the
chicken
and
then
sprinkle
a
small
amount
of
the
grana
on
top
of
the
zucchini.
7.
Roll
up
the
chicken
in
to a
roll,
and
then
take
a
slice
of
the
bacon
and
wrap
it
around
the
outside
of
the
chicken
roll-up.
Run
a
toothpick
through
the
completed
roll-up
to
hold
everything
together
and
place
it
on
the
plate
you
had
set
aside
earlier.
8.
Repeat
steps
6
and
7
until
all
chicken
has
been
used.
9.
Set
the
completed
roll-ups
in
the
refrigerator
for
a
few
minutes.
In
the
meantime,
on a
clean
cutting
surface,
peel
and
dice
the
shallot,
and
then
peel
and
chop
the
remaining
3
cloves
of
garlic.
10.
In a
large
pan
or
skillet
over
medium
heat,
add
the
diced
shallot
and
chopped
garlic
along
with
1/3
cup
of
olive
oil.
Sauté
the
shallot
and
garlic
over
medium
heat
until
the
shallot
begins
to
turn
translucent.
Then
add
1/2
cup
of
white
wine
to
the
pan.
Simmer,
covered,
for
5 -
7
minutes
or
until
the
wine
has
almost
evaporated
from
the
pan.
11.
When
the
wine
has
almost
evaporated
from
the
pan,
place
the
chicken
roll-ups
in
the
pan.
Cover
the
pan
and
cook
for
8 -
10
minutes
until
the
bottom
of
the
roll-ups
begin
to
brown.
Once
they
have
browned
on
the
bottom,
turn
each
roll-up
to
brown
on
the
opposite
side
for
another
8 -
10
minutes.
If,
at
any
time
the
liquid
in
the
pan
evaporates
too
quickly,
add
a
small
amount
of
fresh
water
to
the
pan.
12.
When
the
chicken
appears
to
have
cooked
well,
continue
to
sauté
the
roll-ups
in
the
pan
until
they
have
browned
lightly
on
all
sides.
Once
they
appear
thoroughly
cooked,
remove
the
roll-ups
from
the
pan
and
set
aside.
13.
Add
to
the
pan,
the
package
of
frozen
peas
and
1/3
cup
fresh
water.
Cover
the
pan
and
simmer
the
peas
for
5 -
7
minutes.
While
the
peas
are
cooking,
clean
and
slice
the
mushrooms.
14.
When
the
peas
have
begun
to
soften,
add
the
mushrooms
to
the
pan.
If
the
liquid
in
the
pan
has
evaporated
too
quickly,
add
a
small
amount
of
water
to
the
pan
as
needed.
Cover
the
pan
and
simmer
for
10 -
12
minutes
or
until
the
peas
and
mushrooms
are
thoroughly
cooked.
15.
When
the
peas
and
mushrooms
mixture
is
cooked
well,
add
the
chicken
roll-ups
back
to
the
pan.
Cook
the
mixture,
covered
for
another
10 -
12
minutes.
16.
Once
thoroughly
cooked,
remove
the
pan
from
the
heat,
plate
and
serve.
