Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

Creamy Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls make dinner feel like an event and are truly what I reach for when I want something bubbling and extra comforting. These roll-ups capture the flavors of classic lasagna, but pack them into individual portions layered with savory chicken and plenty of velvety sauce. Just the thing when you crave homey Italian-inspired flavor without fuss.

I first made this recipe as a make-ahead meal for a busy family week. The leftovers disappeared in a flash, and now it’s my answer for both company dinners and meal prep Sundays.

Ingredients

• Lasagna noodles: Choose noodles with ridges for the most sauce cling and texture
• Cooked chicken: Rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken works best for tender easy shredding
• Alfredo sauce: Go for a high-quality jarred Alfredo without fillers for the creamiest finish
• Ricotta cheese: Adds richness and creaminess select whole milk ricotta for full flavor
• Mozzarella cheese: Melts beautifully and gives those signature cheese pulls use fresh or pre-shredded
• Parmesan cheese: Provides sharp salty notes freshly grated makes a difference
• Egg: Binds the filling together for perfect slices
• Italian seasoning: Blends dried herbs for depth make sure yours is fragrant and not past its prime
• Garlic powder: Reinforces the savory flavor look for fine powder not large granules
• Fresh parsley: Brightens the finished dish and balances the cheesy sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Cheese Filling:

In a mixing bowl combine ricotta cheese with half of the mozzarella, parmesan, egg, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Make sure the mixture is evenly blended so every bite is rich and aromatic.

Assemble the Rolls:

Lay each cooked lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface. Spoon a layer of the cheese filling all the way from edge to edge to prevent dry ends.

Add Chicken and Sauce:

Scatter shredded chicken evenly over the filling on each noodle, then spoon a thin stream of Alfredo sauce over the top. This keeps the chicken juicy and infuses every layer with flavor.

Roll and Arrange:

Carefully roll each noodle from one short end to the other, keeping the filling tucked inside. Place them seam side down in your prepared baking dish to keep the rolls secure.

Top and Bake:

Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce generously over the rolls and sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella. Cover tightly with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes to steam everything together nicely.

Finish with a Golden Top:

Take off the foil and bake an extra five to ten minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling golden brown. Keep a close eye at the end to avoid overbrowning.

Garnish and Serve:

Sprinkle chopped parsley over the hot rolls just before serving for fresh color and a little herby snap.

My favorite part might just be the way mozzarella turns golden and chewy along the edges. Each time I pull this dish from the oven my family comes running to the table and we always compete for the cheesiest roll in the bunch.

Storage and Leftover Tips

Store any leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to three days. For best taste reheat in the oven covered with foil to maintain moisture. The rolls can also be separated and microwaved individually for quick lunches or snacks.

Easy Ingredient Swaps

If you prefer, use turkey or ham instead of chicken. You can replace ricotta with cottage cheese for a lighter touch. Try adding sautéed spinach or mushrooms into the cheese mix for more veggies. Pesto in place of Italian seasoning adds bright herby notes.

Perfect Ways to Serve This

Pair these rolls with a crisp green salad and some garlicky bread for the full Italian bistro feeling. Steamed broccoli is a classic side and helps cut through the richness. These rolls also make a hearty addition to a holiday buffet table.

The Story Behind This Recipe

Chicken Alfredo lasagna rolls came together the first time I hosted my old college friends and wanted something cozy but not basic. I still remember how everyone reached straight for seconds and dinner stretched into a storytelling night. The aroma alone will draw everyone to the kitchen long before serving.

Adapting for Every Season

For a lighter spring spin, swirl in fresh peas and a touch of lemon zest. In winter, double down on creamy sauce and use rotisserie chicken for convenience. When tomatoes are ripe, try adding thin tomato slices to brighten each roll. Three helpful notes: Roll the noodles tightly but not too firm or filling may squish out. Let the baked dish cool for five to ten minutes to help slices hold shape. If you love extra golden cheese, broil the top for one to two minutes at the end.

What People Are Saying

Friends always ask for the recipe after trying these rolls. My neighbor calls them her go to for dinner parties. Relatives have told me this is their new favorite way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken.

Freezer Meal Conversion

The unbaked assembled rolls freeze beautifully in a covered pan. Simply thaw overnight in the fridge before baking the next day. Add five extra minutes to the baking time and check for bubbling sauce at the edges before serving. This trick has saved me time more than once during extra busy weeks.

You will be amazed by how crowd-pleasing and cozy these lasagna rolls are. Give them a try for your next family dinner or potluck and watch them disappear.
