Servings: 4
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken

  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the chicken-cheese mixture onto each noodle.

  4. Carefully roll up each noodle and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

  5. Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll-ups, ensuring each one is coated. Sprinkle extra mozzarella on top.

  6. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter to promote crispiness during baking.

  7. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbling and golden on the edges.

  8. For an extra-crispy finish, broil for 2–3 minutes until the cheese on top is lightly browned.

  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

Variations:

  • Spinach Twist: Add sautéed spinach or thawed frozen spinach (well-drained) into the filling for a green, earthy layer.

  • Bacon Boost: Mix in crumbled cooked bacon for a smoky, savory punch.

  • Mushroom Lovers: Sautéed mushrooms make a great addition to the chicken filling or can be layered on top before baking.

  • Extra Cheesy: Add provolone or fontina cheese for more melty goodness.

Tips:

  • Cook lasagna noodles al dente—they’ll continue to soften in the oven.

  • To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or leftovers.

  • Let the roll-ups rest for 5 minutes after baking for easier serving.

  • Make ahead: Assemble the dish earlier in the day and refrigerate until ready to bake.

  • Use a high-quality Alfredo sauce if you’re not making it from scratch—flavor matters.

This elegant, creamy, and crave-worthy dish is guaranteed to become a family favorite. Try it once, and it might just replace your regular lasagna.
