Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups Ingredients

Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups raw ingredients that are labeled

This delicious take on a classic dish combines tender chicken, pasta noodles, and creamy Alfredo sauce, all rolled up into one perfect bite.

The flavors blend together perfectly, with the cheese providing an extra boost of flavor.

You’ll need:

Lasagna noodles, boiled & drained (according to package instructions)
15 ounces of ricotta cheese
4 ounces of shredded four-cheese Italian blend
8-ounce block of mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided into 1 cup and remainder
1 large egg, room temperature
¾ teaspoon of garlic powder
½ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of black pepper
3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped, divided into 2 tablespoons and 1 tablespoon
4 cups of shredded white meat chicken (approximately 2 pounds or 3 large breasts)
2 (16-ounce) jars of prepared Alfredo sauce

PRO TIP:

I like to cook my boneless skinless chicken breasts in my instant pot (according to the manufacturer’s instructions) in chicken broth for my shredded chicken. You can do this up to 24 hours ahead and keep your shredded chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble your roll-ups.

Substitutions And Additions

CHICKEN: You can also use the white and dark meat from a large leftover rotisserie chicken for ease of preparation in these alfredo chicken lasagna roll ups.

ALFREDO SAUCE: If you have a favorite homemade Alfredo sauce, you can certainly use that as a delicious alternative to the prepared store-bought variety.

You just want to be sure to use a good quality sauce.

CHEESE: You can replace the four-cheese Italian blend with a Pecorino Romano cheese, parmesan cheese, or any combination of hard Italian cheeses that have been shredded.

MUSHROOMS: For a delightful earthy twist, consider adding sautéed mushrooms to the filling mixture.

They bring a savory depth of flavor and a meaty texture, complementing the creamy sauce beautifully.

Simply chop the mushrooms and sauté them in a bit of butter or olive oil until they’re tender and lightly browned before mixing them into the filling.

SPINACH: To sneak in some greens and a burst of color, incorporate fresh spinach into the mixture.

Roughly chop the spinach and wilt it in a pan with a touch of oil or steam it briefly before mixing it in.

SUN-DRIED TOMATOES: If you’re looking to introduce a sweet and tangy dimension to your lasagna roll-ups, try adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling.

How To Make This Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups Recipe

Once you combine the creamy filling, you will roll it up in the individual lasagna noodles, top them with cheese, and bake them until bubbling.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set it aside.

STEP TWO: In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded four-cheese Italian blend, one cup of the shredded mozzarella, egg, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and two tablespoons of chopped parsley.

cheese, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley stirred together

STEP THREE: Fold the shredded white meat chicken into the ricotta mixture until evenly incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Lay out one to two lasagna noodles onto a clean surface, and spread a quarter to a third cup of the chicken mixture evenly over each noodle.

STEP FIVE: Starting at one end, roll the noodle up so the chicken mixture is rolled inside.

Place the rolled-up noodles, seam side down, into the prepared baking dish in a row. Repeat steps four & five until you have filled and rolled 12 noodles.

STEP SIX: Cover all the noodles with the Alfredo sauce. Be sure to allow the sauce to seep between each of the rolls and on the sides.

STEP SEVEN: Top the chicken lasagna roll-ups with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.

STEP EIGHT: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your dish at the lower end of the recommended baking time.

STEP NINE: Allow the chicken lasagna roll-ups to sit for five to ten minutes before garnishing with a sprinkle of the remaining one tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley.

PRO TIP:

These chicken lasagna roll-ups should be served while warm. As the creamy sauce sits and cools, it will start to thicken up.

Storage

We’ve got some helpful tips to make the most of this tasty dish!

MAKE AHEAD: After assembling them, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.

This is a fantastic option for busy weeknight dinners, as you can have everything ready to go and simply pop it in the oven when you’re ready to eat.

IN THE FRIDGE: You can store leftover chicken Alfredo lasagna rolls in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two days.

IN THE FREEZER: I do not suggest freezing this dish as the cheesy white sauce tends to separate and change texture once frozen and then thawed again.

REHEATING: When it’s time to reheat your chicken lasagna roll-ups, you have a few options:

OVEN: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake them until they’re heated through. This method helps maintain the crispiness of the edges and the creaminess of the filling.
MICROWAVE: If you’re short on time, you can use the microwave. Heat them in short 30-second intervals, checking and stirring between each interval until they’re warmed to your liking.
