Ingredients
Scale
- Base Components:
- 12–15 lasagna noodles (oven-ready or regular)
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Flavor Builders:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Seasonings & Spices:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Finishing & Toppings:
- ¼ cup extra grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Noodles: Boil lasagna noodles until al dente, then drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking. Shred your cooked chicken, ensuring it’s ready for filling. This prep makes assembly much smoother.
- Start Alfredo: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, then sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in heavy cream and softened cream cheese, stirring until smooth and beginning to thicken.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of Parmesan, mozzarella, shredded chicken, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. This cheesy mixture is key for delicious Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls.
- Finish Sauce: Stir the remaining 1.5 cups of Parmesan cheese into the simmering Alfredo sauce until it’s fully melted and the sauce is rich and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings for perfect flavor.
- Assemble Rolls: Spread a thin layer of the chicken and cheese filling evenly over each prepared noodle. Roll each noodle tightly from one end to the other and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Bake Lasagna: Pour the creamy Alfredo sauce over the assembled Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Serve Warm: Let the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls rest briefly after baking before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy this comforting family meal!
