What You’ll Need

To create these delicious Creamy Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups, you’ll need:

8 large lasagna noodles
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (plus extra for topping)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup creamy Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Creamy Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them out flat on a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on each noodle. Place a generous portion of the filling on one end of the noodle and carefully roll it up. Place each roll seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the extra mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.

Delicious Variations to Try

Here are some fun ways to customize your Creamy Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups for an exciting twist:

Spinach & Artichoke: Add some chopped spinach and artichoke hearts to the filling for a zesty and delicious combo.
Buffalo Style: Give your roll ups a kick by mixing in some buffalo sauce with the chicken for a spicy, tangy flair.
Vegetable Medley: Replace the chicken with a variety of roasted vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms for a delightful vegetarian option.
Cheesy Garlic: Incorporate some minced garlic into the ricotta mixture for a rich, garlicky flavor that will leave you craving more.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead: Prep your roll ups the night before and keep them covered in the fridge. Just bake them right before serving!
Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have ricotta, cottage cheese works as a great alternative. You can also experiment with different types of cheese based on what you have.
Slicing and Serving: For clean slices, use a sharp knife and let the roll ups rest for a few minutes before cutting.
Storing Leftovers: Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven for the best texture.
