Save this recipe on:

I can still remember the first time I made these Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls. It started as an experiment, a craving for something cozy but with a twist, and I ended up with a dish that felt like pure comfort wrapped in pasta. That creamy Alfredo sauce, tender shredded chicken, and gooey cheese stuffed into rolled-up lasagna noodles was everything I didn’t know I needed.

What I love most about this dish is how it brings a sense of occasion to an ordinary night. It feels indulgent without being overly complicated. The individual rolls make serving neat and easy, and each bite has just the right balance of creamy, savory, and cheesy flavors. I like to think of this as a weeknight indulgence that tastes like it came from a fancy Italian kitchen.

This recipe has become my go-to for family dinners, potlucks, and when I want to impress without stressing. It’s one of those meals that everyone gathers around, and there are rarely leftovers—though it reheats beautifully if you manage to save a roll or two.

Ingredients

Lasagna noodles: These serve as the foundation of the rolls, and their flat shape makes them ideal for stuffing and rolling.

Shredded cooked chicken: Tender and mild, the chicken soaks up the creamy Alfredo sauce perfectly. It’s also a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken.

Alfredo sauce: The creamy, garlicky richness of the Alfredo sauce ties the whole dish together. You can use homemade or high-quality store-bought.

Ricotta cheese: It brings a smooth, lightly tangy texture that makes the filling creamy without being heavy.

Mozzarella cheese: For that satisfying stretch and melt. It’s layered on top for a golden, bubbly finish.

Parmesan cheese: Adds sharpness and depth to the creamy sauce and the filling.

Italian seasoning: A simple blend that enhances all the savory notes in the dish.

Salt and pepper: Essential for seasoning the filling to taste.

Fresh parsley: Optional but recommended for a pop of freshness and color when serving.

How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

Step 1: Boil the Lasagna Noodles

Cook your lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, half the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is combined into a creamy, thick mixture.

Step 3: Roll the Lasagna Noodles

Spread a layer of the filling over each lasagna noodle. Roll each noodle up tightly into a pinwheel shape.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

Pour a layer of Alfredo sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place the lasagna rolls seam-side down into the dish. Pour remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolls and sprinkle mozzarella and the rest of the Parmesan on top.

Step 5: Bake

Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 6: Serve

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

There are so many ways to adapt these Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls to suit your tastes or what you have on hand. If you want a lighter version, try using low-fat ricotta and a lighter Alfredo sauce. For a twist in protein, shredded turkey or cooked shrimp can work beautifully. If you’re vegetarian, roasted spinach and mushrooms make a hearty and delicious substitute.

Want to boost the flavor even more? Add minced garlic or caramelized onions to the filling. You could also swap in a blend of Italian cheeses like fontina, provolone, or asiago for deeper, more complex layers of flavor. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes in the filling gives a nice heat.

For gluten-free folks, opt for gluten-free lasagna noodles. And if you’re dairy-free, try a cashew-based Alfredo and dairy-free cheese alternatives. The dish is very forgiving and easy to customize.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These lasagna rolls are hearty on their own, but I love to serve them with a crisp green salad tossed in a light lemon vinaigrette or a plate of roasted vegetables like asparagus or broccoli. Garlic bread or a soft dinner roll is perfect for soaking up that extra Alfredo sauce.

For drinks, a chilled glass of Chardonnay or even sparkling water with lemon pairs wonderfully. If you’re serving guests, finish the meal with something bright like the Pineapple Cheese Pie to balance the richness.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They reheat well in the oven at 350°F, covered with foil for about 15 minutes, or in the microwave for a couple of minutes until warmed through. You can also freeze the rolls (baked or unbaked) for up to 2 months. Just be sure to wrap them tightly and thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

FAQs

How do I keep Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls from sticking?

Make sure to lay cooked noodles flat on parchment or drizzle a bit of oil over them to keep them from sticking together before rolling.

Can I make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble them up to a day ahead, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake when you’re ready to serve.

What’s the best chicken to use for Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls?
