Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna and Sauce
- 12 dry lasagna noodles
- 15 ounces Alfredo sauce (1 jar)
Filling
- 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided: ½ cup for filling, ½ cup for topping)
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (divided: ¼ cup for filling, ¼ cup for topping)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish and set aside.
- Cook the noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse them with cold water to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine half of the Alfredo sauce, shredded chicken, ½ cup mozzarella, ¼ cup Parmesan, garlic powder, lemon zest, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Lay the cooked noodles flat on a clean work surface and pat them dry with a paper towel. Evenly spread the chicken mixture lengthwise over each noodle, then roll them up tightly. Place each roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Add sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled roll-ups. Sprinkle the top with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the roll-ups: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Optional broiling: For a golden and crispy cheese topping, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve and garnish: Remove the dish from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy chicken Alfredo lasagna roll-ups!
Notes
- For best results, use freshly shredded cooked chicken.
- Lasagna noodles should be cooked al dente to prevent them from becoming too soft when baked.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
- The dish can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just increase the baking time slightly to ensure it is heated through.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat covered in the oven or microwave until warmed throughout.
