Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray your baking dish lightly with oil.
-
Boil the Noodles
Cook lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking. -
Mix the Filling
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Add the shredded chicken and mix until evenly coated. -
Assemble the Roll Ups
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce at the bottom of your baking dish. Take one noodle, spread about 2 tablespoons of filling evenly across it, then roll it up carefully. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat for all noodles. -
Top and Bake
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the roll ups and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. -
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for color and freshness. Let it cool slightly before serving — and get ready for compliments!

Tips to Make It Easy – “Roll Like a Pro!”
Use wide noodles and don’t overfill! Too much filling will squeeze out when rolling. Keep your noodles slightly firm (al dente) so they don’t tear. A drizzle of sauce under each noodle helps prevent sticking.
Family-Friendly Dinner Magic
This is a dish your kids and family will love! It’s fun to eat, perfectly portioned, and even picky eaters will clean their plates. You can also get your kids involved — let them help roll the noodles!
How to Store It – “Save for Later, Stress-Free”
You can refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight and bake at 350°F until warmed through. Add a splash of milk or cream to keep it creamy.
Make It More Flavorful – “Add a Flavor Twist”
Add crispy bacon bits, sautéed spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes to your filling for extra flavor. A sprinkle of red chili flakes also gives it a mild kick.
Make It Healthier – “Lighter But Delicious”
Use low-fat ricotta or Greek yogurt, whole wheat noodles, and grilled chicken breast instead of rotisserie. You can even replace Alfredo sauce with a light white sauce made from milk and flour.
Variations – “Mix It Up Your Way”
- Spinach Chicken Roll Ups: Add fresh spinach to the filling.
- Buffalo Chicken Roll Ups: Mix in buffalo sauce and top with blue cheese crumbles.
- Tomato Chicken Roll Ups: Swap Alfredo for marinara sauce for a red-sauce version.
- Veggie Roll Ups: Skip chicken and load up mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini.
What to Serve With – “Perfect Pairings”
These roll ups go beautifully with garlic bread, Caesar salad, or roasted vegetables. For a comforting dinner, serve with a chilled glass of white wine or sparkling lemonade.
