Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 10 lasagna noodles
• 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
• 16 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1½ cups Alfredo sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. I bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. I add the lasagna noodles and cook them according to the package instructions until al dente.
3. I drain the noodles and place them on a flat surface, such as parchment paper, to prevent sticking.
4. I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
6. I spread approximately 3 ounces of the chicken mixture over each lasagna noodle, leaving about one-third of the noodle uncovered.
7. I spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of Alfredo sauce over the filling.
8. Starting from the filled end, I carefully roll each noodle toward the bare end.
9. I spread ¼ cup of Alfredo sauce across the bottom of a casserole dish.
10. I arrange each lasagna roll-up seam-side down in the prepared dish.
11. I pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the roll-ups.
12. I sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
13. I cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
14. I remove the foil and continue baking for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
15. I let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.

Variations

• I add cooked spinach to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
• I substitute turkey or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
• I use homemade Alfredo sauce when I want a richer, more customized flavor.
• I add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy addition.
• I sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes into the filling for a little heat.
• I mix some mozzarella directly into the chicken filling for an even cheesier texture.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover lasagna rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors often become even better after a day of resting.

For reheating, I place the rolls in an oven-safe dish, cover them with foil, and warm them at 350°F (175°C) for about 15–20 minutes. I can also microwave individual portions for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

To freeze, I place the fully assembled roll-ups in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. I thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make these lasagna rolls ahead of time?

Yes, I can assemble the roll-ups up to 24 hours in advance, cover them tightly, and refrigerate until ready to bake.

What type of chicken works best?

I like using rotisserie chicken, leftover roasted chicken, or poached chicken because they shred easily and stay moist.

Can I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta?

Yes, I can substitute cottage cheese for ricotta if I prefer a lighter texture and flavor.

How do I keep the noodles from tearing?

I cook the noodles until just al dente and handle them gently while rolling. Laying them flat on parchment paper also helps prevent sticking.

Can I add vegetables to the filling?

Absolutely. I enjoy adding spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, or finely chopped zucchini for extra flavor and texture.
