Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

Some meals have a way of gathering everyone around the table before they’ve even cooled from the oven, and chicken Alfredo lasagna rolls are one of them. With tender lasagna noodles rolled around creamy chicken and cheese, then blanketed in luscious Alfredo sauce, this dish is both hearty and comforting—a modern twist on classic lasagna that feels special yet easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

This recipe was inspired by my mom’s Sunday baked pasta dishes. She’d layer sauce, cheese, and pasta with the kind of love that made you feel at home. Over time, I started rolling instead of layering—partly for fun, partly for the neat, individual servings. The result? These cheesy, creamy rolls that are packed with flavor and perfect for serving a crowd—or saving a few for leftovers.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

• Creamy and comforting with a homemade (or shortcut) Alfredo sauce.
• Perfectly portioned individual rolls that serve beautifully.
• Great for meal prep—you can make it ahead and freeze.
• A delicious way to use up leftover chicken or rotisserie.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN ALFREDO LASAGNA ROLLS:

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cook the noodles:
Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper or a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Alfredo sauce:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Stir in the cream and let it gently simmer (don’t boil) for 4–5 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Mix the filling:
In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

4. Fill and roll the noodles:
Spread about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling evenly over each noodle. Roll them up gently from one end to the other.

5. Assemble the dish:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce over the bottom. Arrange the rolls seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top and sprinkle with extra mozzarella.

6. Bake:
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

HELPFUL TIPS:

• For even quicker prep, use store-bought Alfredo sauce and rotisserie chicken.
• Let the noodles cool slightly before rolling so they’re easier to handle.
• Don’t overfill the noodles or they’ll be harder to roll and may fall apart.
• Make it ahead and refrigerate overnight or freeze before baking.
