Description
Delicious and creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Lasagna Roll-Ups filled with shredded chicken and cheese, all smothered in a rich garlic Parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (whole milk or 2%)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread a thin layer of the garlic Parmesan sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling evenly over each lasagna noodle. Roll the noodles up tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining garlic Parmesan sauce over the roll-ups. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna roll-ups cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired, and serve warm with a side salad or garlic bread.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is an excellent time-saver for this recipe.
- Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms into the filling for added flavor.
