Lasagna Roll Ups
- 12 dry lasagna noodles
- 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
- Chopped fresh parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce evenly on the bottom to prevent sticking and for extra flavor.
- Cook Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking. Lay the noodles flat on a clean surface and gently pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine half of the Alfredo sauce, the shredded cooked chicken, ½ cup of mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, lemon zest, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Evenly spread the chicken and cheese mixture over each noodle. Carefully roll each noodle up from one end to the other, keeping the filling inside. Place the roll ups seam side down in the prepared casserole dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolls in the baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake Covered: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to heat through and melt the cheeses.
- Finish Baking: Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Optional Broil: For an extra crispy cheese topping, broil the roll ups for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups!
