Ingredients for this Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls
- 10 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and the egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.
Step 2: Cook and Prep the Noodles
Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface or parchment paper to prevent sticking and tearing.
Step 3: Roll the Lasagna
Spread a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture evenly over each noodle. Starting from one end, gently roll up each noodle. Place the rolls seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 4: Add the Sauce
Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls, making sure each one is well coated. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese on top for that perfect golden finish.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, let the rolls rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.
Storage Instructions
To keep your Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls fresh and flavorful, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually or in a baking dish covered tightly with foil for up to 3 months. When ready to reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until warmed through. If reheating from frozen, bake covered for about 45–50 minutes, then uncover for the last 10 minutes to brown the top.
