  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 lasagna noodles (traditional or gluten-free for a gluten-free option)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Flavorings and Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing garlic and greasing the baking dish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Noodles: Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain carefully and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking and keep them ready for rolling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, a portion of Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently until creamy and evenly incorporated.
  3. Spread Alfredo Sauce: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking. Then spread a thin, even layer of Alfredo sauce over each prepared noodle sheet before topping with filling.
  4. Roll Up the Noodles: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and cheese filling near one edge of each noodle. Roll the noodle tightly but gently, ensuring it holds its shape. Place each roll seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Add Toppings: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the arranged rolls. Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese for a golden, bubbly crust once baked.
  6. Bake Until Bubbly: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, removing the foil in the last 5-10 minutes to brown the cheese. Once bubbly and golden, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the noodles; they finish cooking in the oven to avoid mushiness.
  • Use freshly shredded chicken for better texture and flavor absorption.
  • Drain any excess moisture from chicken or ricotta to prevent watery filling.
  • Season the filling generously with garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper for layered flavors.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil during most of the baking to retain moisture; uncover towards the end to brown the cheese topping.
  • For freezing, wrap unbaked rolls tightly in plastic wrap and foil; bake from frozen, adding 15 minutes to cooking time.
