Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Rolls
- 10 lasagna noodles
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce and Cheese
- 1.5 cups Alfredo sauce (jarred)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and lay the noodles flat on parchment paper or a clean surface to cool and prevent sticking.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, salt, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly blended.
- Assemble the rolls: Spread approximately 3 ounces of the chicken and ricotta filling evenly over each noodle, leaving about one-third of the noodle bare to help with rolling. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of Alfredo sauce evenly over the filling on each noodle.
- Roll the noodles: Carefully roll each noodle from the filling end towards the bare end, creating tight rolls to hold the filling securely.
- Prepare the baking dish: Pour ¼ cup of Alfredo sauce evenly across the bottom of a casserole dish to prevent sticking. Arrange the lasagna rolls seam side down in the prepared dish.
- Add sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the arranged rolls. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses liberally on top.
- Bake covered: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
- Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure lasagna noodles are cooked al dente to avoid breaking when rolling.
- Use pre-cooked chicken for convenience; rotisserie chicken works well.
- If desired, garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving for added color and freshness.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness and flavor.
