Scale
Lasagna Noodles
- 12 dry lasagna noodles
Filling
- 15 ounces Alfredo sauce (1 jar), divided
- 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Topping and Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly 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 to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Cook Lasagna Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop cooking and prevent them from sticking together. Lay them out on a clean surface and pat dry with paper towels.
- Prepare Filling Mixture: In a large bowl, combine half of the Alfredo sauce (about 7.5 ounces), shredded cooked chicken, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, lemon zest, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Evenly spread the chicken and cheese mixture over each lasagna noodle. Carefully roll up each noodle starting from one end, ensuring the filling stays inside. Place the rolls seam-side down in the prepared casserole dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the top of the rolled noodles. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the sauce to create a cheesy topping.
- Bake: Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes until the chicken is warmed through and the cheese has melted.
- Optional Broil for Crispiness: For a golden, crispy cheese top, broil the lasagna roll ups for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups.
