Lasagna Roll Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups shredded chicken (tender)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce and Garnish
- 1.5 cups Alfredo sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water and cooking the lasagna noodles according to the package directions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, carefully drain the noodles and lay them flat on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking and allow them to cool while you prepare the filling.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, ¼ cup of grated parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce at the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent the rolls from sticking during baking.
- Assemble Rolls: Lay one lasagna noodle on a clean surface, then spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese filling evenly along the length of the noodle. Carefully roll the noodle tightly from one end to the other, and place each roll seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the top to create a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are heated through and the sauce is bubbling.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the lasagna rolls to rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Boil the noodles until just al dente to avoid overcooking during baking.
- Use freshly shredded chicken for best texture and flavor.
- Feel free to substitute Alfredo sauce with homemade or store-bought.
- Covering the dish with foil during baking keeps the rolls moist and prevents cheese from burning.
- This dish can be prepared in advance and refrigerated before baking for convenience.
