Ingredients

• Lasagna noodles – 12 sheets (you can use whole wheat for a healthier alternative)
• Cooked chicken – 2 cups, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
• Cream cheese – 8 oz, softened
• Alfredo sauce – 2 cups (store-bought or homemade)
• Parmesan cheese – 1 cup, grated (for an extra cheesy flavor)
• Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon
• Spinach – 1 cup, fresh (to add a touch of color and nutrition)
• Italian seasoning – 1 teaspoon
• Salt and pepper – to taste
• Olive oil – for drizzling

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. This will ensure that your lovely rolls don’t stick.

Step 2:

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Make sure to toss them in a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 3:

In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, half of the grated Parmesan, garlic powder, spinach, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. It should be creamy and delicious.

Step 4:

Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce (about 1/2 cup) on the bottom of your baking dish to keep the rolls moist while they bake.

Step 5:

Take each noodle and spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture on it. Roll it up tightly and place it seam side down in the baking dish.

Step 6:

Once all the rolls are snugly in the dish, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over them, spreading it evenly. Top with the rest of the Parmesan.

Step 7:

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. Trust me, the aroma will have everyone at the table begging for a taste.

Nutritional Information

These Chicken Alfredo Rolls pack a satisfying punch. Each serving offers protein from the chicken, calcium from the cheese, and vitamins from the spinach. Depending on the ingredients used, the nutritional content can vary, but generally, you can expect around 350-400 calories per serving. Perfect for a hearty yet comforting meal.

Healthier Alternatives

If you’re looking to make these rolls a little lighter, you can swap the traditional creamy Alfredo sauce for a low-fat version or try a homemade cauliflower Alfredo. Using whole wheat lasagna noodles boosts the fiber content, making these Alfredo Rolls even better for you while still retaining that creamy flavor we all adore.

Serving Suggestions

These Chicken Alfredo Rolls serve beautifully alongside a crisp side salad and some garlic bread for that extra comfort. You can also add a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley on top before serving for a burst of flavor and color. Want to elevate the dish even more? Pair it with a glass of white wine for a delightful dinner experience.

Common Mistakes

One of the most common errors is overcooking the lasagna noodles, which can lead to soggy rolls. Make sure to cook them al dente to maintain that perfect texture. Also, remember to let the rolls rest after baking; this will help them set and make them easier to serve.
