There’s something irresistibly cozy about a bubbling tray of cheesy pasta straight from the oven.
These Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups have become one of my favorite ways to turn a classic comfort food into a fun, family-style dinner.
Instead of layering a full lasagna, you roll up creamy chicken and cheese inside tender noodles, then blanket everything in rich Alfredo sauce.
Every bite is creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor—and it looks impressive too!
Why You’ll Love This Recip
Only 9 simple ingredients – Most are pantry or fridge staples.
Fun twist on lasagna – Rolls are easy to portion and serve.
Ultra-creamy – Thanks to a generous amount of Alfredo and cheese.
Make-ahead friendly – Perfect for prepping in advance.
Crowd-pleaser – Even picky eaters love this!
What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)
Lasagna noodles – Traditional noodles work best; just cook until al dente.
Shredded chicken – A great way to use up leftover chicken or rotisserie.
Ricotta cheese – Creamy and mild, the base of the filling.
Parmesan cheese – Adds a salty, umami kick.
Mozzarella – Melts beautifully over the top for that stretchy cheese pull.
Alfredo sauce – Use store-bought or homemade for creamy richness.
Garlic powder & Italian seasoning – Simple spices that round out the flavor.
Fresh parsley – Optional, but adds a nice pop of color at the end.
Pro Tips Before You Start
Don’t overcook the noodles – Slightly underdone is perfect, so they don’t tear.
Drain spinach if using – If adding spinach to the filling, squeeze it dry.
Use thicker Alfredo sauce – A runny sauce will pool instead of coating evenly.
Shred your own cheese – Pre-shredded has anti-caking agents that affect melting.
Let it rest – Allow 5–10 minutes after baking to help everything set.
How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups
Step 1: Cook the Lasagna Noodles
Boil the noodles in salted water until just al dente.
Drain and lay them flat on a clean towel to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Chicken Filling
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Mix until evenly combined.
Step 3: Roll Them Up
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling onto each lasagna noodle, then gently roll it up and place seam-side down into the dish
Step 4: Add Sauce and Cheese
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the roll-ups, making sure each one is generously coated.
Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese over the top.
Step 5: Bake Until Bubbly
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Let the lasagna rolls cool for about 5–10 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, colorful finish.
What to Serve It With
These roll-ups are rich and satisfying, so I like to pair them with something fresh and light:
A crisp Caesar or garden salad
Steamed broccoli or green beans
Garlic bread or focaccia
Roasted vegetables (like zucchini or carrots)
Variations / Substitutions
Use rotisserie chicken – Speeds things up without sacrificing flavor.
Make it vegetarian – Swap the chicken for sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
Add heat – A pinch of red pepper flakes gives a spicy twist.
Swap sauces – Use pesto cream sauce or marinara for a different take.
Try cottage cheese – Instead of ricotta, for a lighter texture.
Storage & Leftovers
To store: Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.
To freeze: Assemble the roll-ups, cover tightly, and freeze unbaked for up to 2 months.
To reheat: Bake from chilled at 350°F for 15–20 minutes or until heated through.
Individual portions: Freeze leftovers in small containers for easy lunches.
FAQs

How do I keep the noodles from tearing?
Don’t overcook, and lay them flat on a towel after boiling.

Rotisserie, poached, or leftover roasted chicken all work great.
