Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
Cheeses:
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Other Ingredients:
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Carefully submerge lasagna noodles in boiling water, following package guidelines for precise cooking time.
- Gently transfer noodles to parchment paper, smoothing them out to prevent tangling or adhering together.
- Create a creamy filling by thoroughly blending shredded chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Coat the bottom of a baking dish with a thin layer of Alfredo sauce to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Lay each noodle flat and distribute the chicken mixture uniformly across the surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully roll each noodle into a compact cylinder, ensuring the filling remains securely enclosed.
- Arrange the rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, positioning them snugly against each other.
- Generously drizzle the remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolls, ensuring complete coverage.
- Liberally scatter the remaining mozzarella cheese across the top, creating an even, appetizing layer.
- Shield the dish with aluminum foil and transfer to a preheated oven at 375°F for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese transforms into a golden, effervescent crust, approximately 10 additional minutes.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking noodles to prevent tearing when rolling, aiming for al dente texture with slight firmness.
- Patting noodles dry with paper towels helps prevent excess moisture and ensures better rolling.
- Shred rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation and enhanced flavor depth in the filling.
- Experiment with low-fat cheese options or gluten-free noodles for healthier dietary adaptations.
