Ingredients
  

  • 8 large lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking dish (9x13 inch)
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Cheese grater
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 8 large lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and lay noodles flat on a clean towel or parchment paper to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, ½ cup shredded mozzarella, ½ cup grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Lay one lasagna noodle flat and spread a generous layer of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over it. Roll the noodle up tightly. Repeat for all noodles.
  4. Spread 1 cup marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the baking dish. Place each roll-up seam-side down in the dish. Pour remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups and sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over top.
  5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Let the roll-ups rest for a few minutes after baking. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
  • Prevent noodles from sticking by laying them flat immediately after cooking.
  • Assemble roll-ups ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Freeze unbaked roll-ups for up to 2 months; thaw before baking.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor.
