I transform classic lasagna into fancy chicken Alfredo rolls. By wrapping lasagna sheets around a tasty chicken filling and covering everything with smooth Alfredo sauce, I've created something special. These individual portions look stunning on any table, whether it's just family dinner or a big celebration.

A mouthwatering twist you'll love

These rolls give traditional Italian food a wonderful makeover. I really enjoy how easy they are to serve as individual portions, and they always catch everyone's eye. The rich Alfredo sauce, flavorful chicken, and melty cheese come together in a comforting taste explosion that'll wow your guests or brighten up an ordinary dinner.

What you'll need

  • Lasagna sheets: 12 sheets cooked al dente so they don't fall apart.
  • Chicken: 2 cups shredded for an even filling.
  • Alfredo sauce: 1 jar (450g) for that creamy goodness.
  • Ricotta: 1 cup smooth and creamy for the stuffing.
  • Mozzarella: 1 cup grated to mix inside and sprinkle on top.
  • Parmesan: 1/2 cup grated for its distinctive flavor.
  • Egg: 1 beaten to hold the filling together.
  • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon to add some kick.
  • Italian herbs: 1 teaspoon for extra aroma.
  • Fresh parsley: Chopped finely for brightness.

Pro tips

I undercook my pasta sheets a bit so they don't tear when rolling. I always grate cheese myself for better flavor and meltiness. I save some extra Alfredo sauce to pour on before baking for an even richer dish. And I pair it with a crisp salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can this dish be prepped early?
Absolutely! Feel free to assemble the rolls a day ahead, store them in the fridge, and simply add sauce and cheese right before baking.
→ What's the trick to perfect lasagna noodles?
Cook them according to the package directions until al dente. Rinse with cold water afterward to stop cooking and keep them from sticking.
→ Is freezing this dish an option?
Yep! You can freeze the rolls, either cooked or uncooked. Wrap them tightly and store for up to 3 months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge before baking.
→ How do I make the sauce creamy?
If your sauce is too thick, stir in some milk or cream. Too thin? Let it cook in the oven a bit longer to thicken up.
→ What chicken works best?
Rotisserie or shredded poached chicken is great. Leftover roasted chicken works too and adds extra flavor to the dish.
