Ingredients

• 8 lasagna noodles
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and arrange the noodles flat on a baking sheet to prevent sticking while you prepare the filling.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.

Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture over each cooked lasagna noodle, then carefully roll them up tightly. Place the roll-ups seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of the dish before arranging the roll-ups. Once the roll-ups are in place, pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over them. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before enjoying these creamy, cheesy, and flavor-packed lasagna roll-ups!

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture for a little heat. Want it even creamier? Stir some shredded mozzarella into the filling before rolling the noodles.
