How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 large egg
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
12 lasagna noodles, cooked & drained
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Step 1: Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain them, rinse with cold water, and lay them out on a parchment-lined surface to keep them from sticking.

Step 2: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream and stir occasionally, letting it come to a gentle simmer—don’t let it boil! Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and egg. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 4: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread 1/2 cup of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish. Take a lasagna noodle, spread 2-3 tablespoons of the filling across it, and roll it up tightly. Place each roll seam-side down in the baking dish. Keep going until all rolls are assembled.

Step 5: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden, cheesy top.

Step 6: Let cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with garlic bread or a side salad for a full meal.
