Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- 8×8 inch baking pan
- Large pot for boiling noodles
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Non-stick spray
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 14.5 oz jar Garlic Alfredo Sauce
- 1 lb cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8 inch pan with non-stick spray and pour 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce on the bottom.
- Cook the lasagna noodles until al dente. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will bake later. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to prevent sticking.
- While the noodles are cooking, mix together 1 cup of Alfredo sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, the shredded chicken, garlic salt, and oregano in a bowl.
- Lay the noodles flat and blot them dry with a paper towel. Spread 1/9 of the chicken mixture onto each noodle. Roll up the noodles and place them seam side down in the prepared pan.
- Once all the roll-ups are in the pan, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over them and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.
Tips for Success
- Make sure the noodles are not overcooked to prevent them from tearing while rolling.
- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce for the best flavor.
- Blotting the noodles dry ensures the chicken mixture sticks better.
Additional Tips and Variations
Feel free to add some cooked spinach or mushrooms to the chicken mixture for extra flavor and nutrition. For a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the Alfredo sauce before baking.
