Place one lasagna noodle onto a flat surface and use a 3 tablespoon scoop to scoop 6 tablespoons of the mixture onto the center of the noodle. Press it until about 1/2″ thick and about 2″ from each end of the noodle (this makes it much easier to roll up).

Fold in one flap of the pasta and roll up the lasagna. Place seam side down onto the prepared baking dish. Repeat until the pan is full and you have 9 rolled noodles. Top with remaining alfredo sauce and 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese.

Bake your alfredo lasagna for 20 minutes or until heated through. If you want a crispier top, broil your chicken alfredo lasagna roll ups for 1-2 minutes – but only if desired. Once you are done with the heat, top with chopped fresh parsley.

This easy recipe serves 4 (2 rolls per person).

Recipe Variations:

Here are a few variations to the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups recipe to add some diversity or cater to specific preferences:

  1. Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups: Add a layer of sautéed spinach and chopped artichoke hearts to the chicken mixture before rolling up the lasagna noodles. This adds a delicious, savory twist to the dish.
  2. Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups: Mix chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil into the chicken mixture. The sun-dried tomatoes will add a sweet and tangy flavor, while the basil contributes a fresh and aromatic element.
  3. Mushroom and Garlic Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups: Sauté sliced mushrooms and minced garlic before adding them to the chicken mixture. This brings a rich, umami flavor to the dish.
  4. Spicy Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups: Incorporate diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes into the chicken filling for a bit of heat. You can also sprinkle some shredded pepper jack cheese on top for an extra kick.
  5. Pesto Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups: Swirl pesto sauce into the Alfredo sauce for added herbal and garlicky notes. You can also mix some pesto into the chicken filling.
  6. Vegetarian Alfredo Roll Ups: Replace the chicken with a combination of sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach. Make sure to season the veggies well for robust flavor.
  7. Four Cheese Alfredo Roll Ups: Experiment with a variety of cheeses such as ricotta, fontina, and Gouda in addition to mozzarella and Parmesan for a richer and more diverse cheese profile.
  8. Lemon Garlic Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups: Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and minced garlic to the Alfredo sauce for a zesty and aromatic flavor. You can also sprinkle lemon zest over the top before baking.
  9. Tex-Mex Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups: Mix in some black beans, corn, and diced green chilies to the chicken filling. Top the roll-ups with a dollop of sour cream and fresh cilantro after baking for a Tex-Mex flair.

FAQs

  1. Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
    • Yes, using pre-cooked chicken is a time-saving option. You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken for added flavor.
  2. Can I prepare the Alfredo sauce in advance?
    • Absolutely! You can make the Alfredo sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to assemble the roll-ups, gently reheat the sauce on the stove or in the microwave.
  3. What type of lasagna noodles should I use?
    • Use regular lasagna noodles and cook them according to the package instructions. Make sure to lay them out flat on a non-stick surface after boiling to prevent sticking.
  4. Can I use a different type of cheese?
    • While the recipe calls for mozzarella and Parmesan, you can experiment with different cheeses such as provolone, fontina, or asiago for added depth of flavor.
  5. How do I prevent the lasagna noodles from sticking together?
    • After boiling the noodles, drain them and lay them out on a non-stick surface, such as a baking sheet or parchment paper, to cool. This helps prevent them from sticking together.
  6. Can I freeze Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups?
    • Yes, these roll-ups can be frozen before or after baking. If freezing before baking, assemble the roll-ups, cover tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze. If freezing after baking, let them cool completely, then wrap tightly before freezing. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
  7. What sides pair well with this dish?
    • Salad, garlic bread, or steamed vegetables are great choices. A simple green salad with a balsamic vinaigrette can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups.
  8. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
    • Yes, you can assemble the roll-ups and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. This is convenient for busy evenings or when entertaining guests.
  9. How do I store leftovers?
    • Store any leftover Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
  10. Can I substitute the chicken with another protein?
    • Absolutely! Cooked and shredded turkey, beef, or even a mix of different meats can be used as alternatives to chicken in this recipe.

Tips and Variations

  • Substitute shredded chicken for ground beef to give this dish a new spin.
  • Be sure to serve lasagna roll ups with a side salad and a fresh loaf of Italian bread.
  • You cannot use oven-ready noodles for this recipe.
  • Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups can be considered either an appetizer or the main course. It really depends on how many courses you plan on serving for the night. On holidays, the pasta is always an appetizer in my house.
  • You can use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Some people choose to put cottage cheese in their lasagna. I am an Italian from NYC. This is not allowed. But, if you are trying to save calories, I guess this is a good idea.

These mini lasagna rolls are pure comfort food! On busy weeknights, prep ahead! You can also make a big batch and freeze one casserole dish for a later dinner time.

The first time I made lasagna roll-ups without marinara sauce, my family was surprised. Now, they beg for it! What a delicious alternative and an easy dinner idea.

I think I gained five pounds looking at and reading about these. I love Fettuccine Alfredo, so I can't wait to (try to) make these. I'm not a very good cook, so this may end up being mixed up in a bowl, but it'll surely still taste yummy?
