Ingredients
- 8 lasagna noodles (regular or oven-ready, about 8 ounces)
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 10 ounces; rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese (about 8 ounces)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 4 ounces)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (for topping, optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or brush with olive oil.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain and lay noodles flat on a clean towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spread about 1/4 cup Alfredo sauce across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Working with one noodle at a time, spread 2-3 tablespoons of filling evenly over each noodle. Roll up firmly but gently, starting from one end. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Once all noodles are rolled and arranged in the dish, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll ups. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons parmesan over the top. Cover with foil.
- Bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly. (Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra browning.)
- Let the roll ups rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For best results, slightly undercook the noodles so they roll easily. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Don’t skimp on the Alfredo sauce to keep the roll ups creamy. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles and check your Alfredo sauce. Add sautéed spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies.
