Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rollups Recipe

Introduction

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rollups are a creamy, cheesy twist on traditional lasagna that’s easy to prepare and perfect for a comforting dinner. Rolled-up noodles filled with tender chicken and rich Alfredo sauce make every bite satisfying and delicious.

A white rectangular baking dish holds six creamy cheese-covered enchiladas arranged in two rows of three. Each enchilada is wrapped in a soft, light-colored tortilla and generously topped with melted white cheese that is slightly golden and bubbly in spots. The cheese is stretchy and gooey, showing strings being lifted by a spatula with a mint green handle and wooden end held by a woman's hand. Small green parsley flakes are sprinkled across the cheese for color. The dish sits on a white marbled surface and is surrounded by stacked white plates, garlic bulb, and a red and white checkered cloth. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 8 lasagna noodles
  • 15 ounce jar garlic Alfredo sauce (divided use)
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided use)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated or green bottle)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, or dried parsley)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  2. Step 2: Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions, but reduce the cooking time by about 2 minutes for firmer noodles.
  3. Step 3: Drain the noodles and drizzle a little olive oil over them to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Spread ¼ cup of garlic Alfredo sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  5. Step 5: In a bowl, combine ¾ cup garlic Alfredo sauce, 2 cups shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, ricotta, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Step 6: Add the shredded cooked chicken to the cheese mixture and stir to combine.
  7. Step 7: Lay one cooked noodle flat on a clean surface and spread about ½ cup of the chicken mixture evenly over it.
  8. Step 8: Roll up the noodle carefully and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles and filling.
  9. Step 9: Pour the remaining garlic Alfredo sauce over the rollups, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Step 10: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
  11. Step 11: (Optional) For a golden top, you can broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  12. Step 12: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep or leftover shredded chicken.
  • Substitute spinach or mushrooms in the filling for added veggies.
  • Try adding red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • To avoid sticking, brush noodles lightly with olive oil right after cooking.

Storage

Store leftover rollups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350° F until warmed through, or microwave covered until hot. For longer storage, freeze unbaked rollups in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding extra baking time.

FAQs

Can I use regular Alfredo sauce instead of garlic Alfredo sauce?

Yes, regular Alfredo sauce works fine. You can add a little garlic powder or minced garlic to boost the flavor if desired.

Do I need to boil the noodles fully or just until al dente?

Cook the noodles until just under al dente, about 2 minutes less than package instructions, so they hold their shape when rolled and finish cooking in the oven.

  • Author: lilan
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 rollups (serves 4-6) 1x

Description

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rollups combine tender lasagna noodles with a creamy garlic Alfredo sauce, shredded chicken, and a delightful blend of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses. This baked pasta dish is perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner, offering rich flavors and a cheesy, bubbly finish.


Ingredients

Scale

Lasagna Noodles

  • 8 lasagna noodles

Sauce and Cheese Mixture

  • 15 ounce jar garlic alfredo sauce (divided use)
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided use)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated or from a green bottle)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

Seasonings and Additions

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, or dried parsley)
  • Olive oil (for drizzling over noodles after cooking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375° F to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your rollups evenly.
  2. Cook Noodles: Cook the 8 lasagna noodles according to the package instructions but reduce the time by about 2 minutes so the noodles remain firm enough to roll without breaking.
  3. Prevent Sticking: Drain the noodles and drizzle a little olive oil over them to prevent sticking while you prepare the filling.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Spread ¼ cup of garlic alfredo sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. This will keep the rollups moist and flavorful during baking.
  5. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine ¾ cup garlic alfredo sauce, 2 cups shredded mozzarella, 1 cup grated Parmesan, 1 cup ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Add Chicken: Fold 2 cups shredded cooked chicken into the cheese and sauce mixture until everything is well incorporated.
  7. Assemble Rollups: Lay one cooked lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface. Spoon about ½ cup of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the noodle and spread evenly.
  8. Roll Noodles: Carefully roll up the noodle tightly and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat this process with all noodles and filling.
  9. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining garlic alfredo sauce evenly over the rollups. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  10. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the rollups to heat through.
  11. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until the cheese on top is hot, bubbly, and starting to brown.
  12. Optional Broil: For a golden brown top, you may broil the dish for 1-2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning as broiling can quickly char the cheese.
  13. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh or dried parsley just before serving for a fresh color and added flavor.

Notes

  • Cooking the noodles slightly under al dente is key to prevent soggy rollups after baking.
  • If rotisserie chicken is not available, cooked shredded chicken from another source works well.
  • Using freshly grated Parmesan yields better flavor but pre-grated Parmesan from the store is a convenient option.
  • Broiling is optional and should be done cautiously to prevent burning; monitoring closely is essential.
  • Leftover rollups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
