The Star Players: Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Chicken Alfredo Filling:

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce (or homemade, if you’re feeling ambitious!)
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Lasagna Rolls:

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 2 cups Alfredo sauce (for topping)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Let’s Get Rolling: Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepping the Noodles and Chicken:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Be careful not to overcook them, as they need to be pliable enough to roll. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Lay them flat on a clean surface or parchment paper.
3. If you haven’t already, cook your chicken breasts. You can bake them, boil them, or even use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut. Once cooked, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Making the Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Filling:

4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
6. Stir in the jarred Alfredo sauce, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Heat through, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and warmed.
7. Add the shredded chicken to the Alfredo sauce mixture and stir until evenly coated. This is where the magic happens! Give it a taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Maybe a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick?

Assembling the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls:

8. Spread about 1/2 cup of the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle.
9. Carefully roll each noodle up tightly, starting from one end.
10. Place the lasagna rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Baking to Golden Perfection:

11. Pour the remaining 2 cups of Alfredo sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls.
12. Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese. Don’t be shy – more cheese is always better! This is a key component to making Easy Delicious Recipes Dinners that everyone will love.
13. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
14. Let the lasagna rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips and Tricks for Lasagna Roll Success

Making these Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls is easier than you might think, but here are a few tips to ensure perfect results:

• Don’t Overcook the Noodles: This is crucial! Overcooked noodles will be sticky and difficult to roll. Aim for al dente, meaning they’re still slightly firm to the bite.
• Dry the Noodles: After cooking and rinsing the noodles, gently pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the filling adhere better.
• Use a Good Quality Alfredo Sauce: While you can certainly make your own Alfredo sauce, a good quality jarred sauce will save you time and effort. Look for one that’s thick and creamy.
• Don’t Overfill the Rolls: Resist the urge to stuff too much filling into each noodle. This will make them difficult to roll and can cause them to burst open during baking.
• Seam-Side Down: Always place the lasagna rolls seam-side down in the baking dish to prevent them from unraveling.
• Get Creative with Fillings: Feel free to customize the filling to your liking. Add spinach, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or any other vegetables you enjoy.

Serving Suggestions and Delicious Pairings

These Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls are a complete meal on their own, but they also pair well with a variety of side dishes. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette is always a good choice. Garlic bread or breadsticks are also great for soaking up the extra Alfredo sauce. For a more substantial meal, consider serving them with roasted vegetables like asparagus or broccoli. These rolls are total comfort food, and are one of the Easy Dinners That Look Fancy that your family will request over and over again!

Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions

These Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls are perfect for making ahead of time. You can assemble the rolls up to 24 hours in advance and store them, covered, in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, simply add the Alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese and bake as directed. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
