Ingredients:
- 8 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded (Tip: A rotisserie chicken works wonders for this recipe!)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
For the Garlic Alfredo Sauce:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream (equivalent to 2 cups)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Steps to Heavenly Goodness:
Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9×13 inch baking dish, spray with cooking spray, and set it aside for later.
Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles as per the package instructions until they are al dente. Post-cooking, drain and gently rinse the noodles under cold water. Spread them out on paper towels to get rid of any lingering moisture.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt together butter, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese over medium heat. Whisk until they amalgamate beautifully. Now, stir in the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Keep whisking until the mixture is velvety smooth. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes, or until it starts to gain a slightly thicker consistency. Spread 1 cup of this Alfredo goodness on the bottom of your prepared pan.
Roll-up Assembly: Lay out each noodle and spread about 2 tablespoons of the Alfredo sauce on each. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken across each noodle and crown with around 3 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese. Now for the fun part – carefully roll up each noodle, ensuring the filling stays inside, and place seam-side down in your baking dish.
Baking: Once all the roll-ups have found their cozy spots in the baking dish, drench them with the remaining Alfredo sauce. Shower the remaining mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in your preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until the dish is piping hot, and the cheese forms a bubbly, golden crust.
Serving Tip: These roll-ups pair fantastically with a crisp Caesar salad or steamed green beans!
