this RECIPE

Ingredients (Serves 6-8)

• 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and cooled
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (divided)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Variations

• Vegetable Add-ins: Add spinach, mushrooms, or roasted red peppers to the filling for extra flavor and color.
• Meat Options: Swap the chicken for ground turkey, sausage, or even beef for a different flavor profile.
• Cheese Variety: You can use a blend of cheeses like gouda, provolone, or a bit of cheddar for a twist on the classic mozzarella and ricotta combination.
• Spicy Option: Add red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce or sprinkle some on top for a bit of heat.

How to Make the Recipe

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Lasagna Noodles

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Lay the noodles flat on a clean kitchen towel to dry.

Step 3: Make the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix everything until well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Take each lasagna noodle and spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture along the length of the noodle. Carefully roll the noodle up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 5: Top the Rolls

Once all the rolls are in the dish, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top, making sure each roll is coated. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 6: Bake the Lasagna Rolls

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Once baked, let the lasagna rolls sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Tips for Making the Recipe

• Use Fresh Mozzarella: For the best melt and flavor, use freshly shredded mozzarella instead of pre-shredded.
• Extra Creamy: For an extra creamy filling, add a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream to the ricotta mixture.
• Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the noodles, as it will make them harder to roll and could lead to the filling spilling out during baking.
• Make-Ahead: You can assemble the rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.

How to Serve

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls are hearty enough to be a complete meal on their own, but they pair beautifully with a fresh salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables. For a lighter side, serve with a simple green salad and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover lasagna rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven until heated through.

Freezing

To freeze, prepare the rolls as instructed, but do not bake. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, thaw the rolls overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed.

Reheating

To reheat, bake the rolls in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual rolls, covered with a damp paper towel, until warm.
