Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

I love sinking my fork into creamy layers of chicken Alfredo rolled inside pasta—each bite brimming with tender chicken, rich cheese, and velvety sauce. It’s comfort food elevated, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I adore how this recipe combines classic Italian flavors in an easy-to-eat format. The chicken keeps it hearty, the Alfredo sauce keeps it creamy, and rolling everything up means each portion looks and tastes special. Plus, it’s make-ahead friendly and reheats beautifully.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)

• Lasagna noodles (cooked until al dente)

• Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)

• Ricotta cheese

• Mozzarella cheese (shredded)

• Parmesan cheese (grated)

• Garlic (minced)

• Fresh parsley (chopped)

• Salt and pepper

• Olive oil (optional, for greasing and drizzle)

Directions

1. Prepare ingredients:
   I start by cooking the lasagna noodles until al dente, then draining and laying them flat to prevent sticking. While they cook, I shred the chicken and mix it with garlic, ricotta, mozzarella (reserve some for topping), Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper.

2. Assemble rolls:
   I spread a layer of Alfredo sauce on each noodle, then spoon the chicken-cheese mixture across the center. I roll each noodle up snugly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish lightly greased or lined with more Alfredo sauce.

3. Top & bake:
   I pour remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolls, sprinkle extra mozzarella and Parmesan on top, and add a drizzle of olive oil if I like. Then I bake in a preheated oven (around 375 °F or 190 °C) for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

4. Serve:
   I let the rolls rest 5 minutes before serving, then garnish with chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan.

Servings and timing

• Prep time: ~20 minutes

• Cook time: ~25 minutes

• Total time: About 45 minutes

• Serves: 4–6 people, depending on appetite

Variations

• Spinach roll-ups: I stir in cooked spinach to the cheese mixture for extra veggies and color.

• Pesto twist: I swap Alfredo sauce for a basil pesto or use half of each for herbaceous depth.

• Spicy kick: Adding crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the cheese mix gives it a nice heat.

• Vegetarian option: I omit chicken and double up on spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for a meatless version.

• Cheesy upgrade: I sprinkle provolone or fontina on top before baking for an even richer melt.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm the rolls in the oven at 350 °F (175 °C) until heated through, about 10–15 minutes. Microwaving in short intervals works too—just stir in a little extra Alfredo sauce or milk to keep them creamy.

FAQs

Can I use store‑bought Alfredo sauce?

Yes, absolutely! I often use a good-quality jarred Alfredo to save time. Just taste it beforehand and add a dash of garlic or parmesan to boost flavor if needed.

Can I assemble the rolls ahead of time?

Definitely. I’ll prep and roll them up, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready, I bake them straight from the fridge—just add a few extra minutes to cooking time.

Do I have to boil the noodles before rolling?

Yes. Pre-cooking the noodles until al dente makes them pliable enough to roll without breaking. Don’t overcook, or they’ll tear.

Can I freeze these rolls?

I freeze assembled (but unbaked) rolls in a sealed container for up to 3 months. I bake them from frozen—about 10 minutes longer than fresh—until fully heated through.

What can I serve with them?

I like pairing them with a crisp green salad, garlic bread, or steamed broccoli to balance the richness.

Conclusion

These chicken Alfredo lasagna rolls are my go-to when craving a comforting, cheesy, and elegant meal that’s surprisingly simple to put together. Whether I’m feeding family or guests, they hit all the right notes—creamy, hearty, and deliciously satisfying. Let me know if you try any of the variations or have your own twist!
