This was soooo yummy! A little on the heavier side but hey, when you have alfredo sauce, it's going to be thick. It wasn't too hard to make (always a plus) and you could always make some of the stuff ahead of time. I'm going to change it the next time I'm making it (oh yes, this is going onto the list!). Instead of the alfredo sauce she has on her site, I love the "Our Best Bites" recipe which is low-fat but doesn't taste bad AT ALL! FYI, the alfredo recipe below is not the Best Bites recipe. The pictures look sorta bland but it isn't. Just go ahead and make it! You won't regret it!
Chicken Alfredo Roll-ups
Printable Version
9 lasagna noodles
2 ½ cups alfredo sauce (optional homemade recipe below)
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
oregano
garlic salt
3 cups shredded Mozzarella, or cheese of your choice
Spray an 8x8 pan with non-stick spray and pour ½ cup alfredo sauce, or just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Boil 8-10 cups water in a large pan, cook lasagne noodles until al dente. (I usually cook 1 or 2 extra just because lasagna noodles always seem to break on me when I am stirring them.)
Now this is the important part! Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to prevent them from sticking to each other. Then, lay out each noodle individually and blot dry with a paper towel.
Spread about 2 Tbs. alfredo sauce over each noodle. (if there is too much sauce you will have a big mess on your hands!) Sprinkle oregano and garlic salt on top of sauce. Take 1/9 of the shredded chicken and spread it out evenly over each noodle. Add approx. 3 Tbs. cheese. To roll up, start at one end and roll the noodle over the toppings. You will need to lift the noodle a little to prevent squishing out the inside ingredients while rolling.
Place the roll-ups in the pan, one by one, seam-side down so they don't come undone. Once they are all in the pan, pour the remaining alfredo sauce over the top. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted on top.
Serves 3, 3 roll-ups each
