I love making Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups for dinner. Its a pretty straightforward dish that fits perfectly into simple plain dinner recipes and is great for cooking for lazy people.

I start with 9 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente and cooled, then layer on 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken breast mixed with 1 clove of minced garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil. I add 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce, and top that with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Sometimes I mix in 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese to give it that creamy texture, plus extra Alfredo for drizzling. This recipe not only offers a delicious taste but also provides a good amount of protein and calcium and is definitely one of my favorite recipes with at home ingredients for a yummy dinner that picky eaters can enjoy.

Plus, the way the cheeses melt and blend together makes every bite feel like a warm hug. And honestly, it’s just a fun twist on something as classic as lasagna noodles – a little different but still really familiar and comforting.

These Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups are basically tender lasagna noodles rolled with a yummy chicken mixture, then smothered in extra Alfredo sauce and melted cheese. It’s like a cozy, cheesy dinner that makes me feel both fancy and at home. The garlic and olive oil give it a kick, and the fresh parsley on top makes it all look extra inviting.

FAQ

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?

A: Yeah you can make these ahead. Just store the rolled up noodles in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.

Q: What if I don't have ricotta cheese?

A: No worries, the ricotta is optional. You can leave it out and still have a creamy texture with the Alfredo sauce. If you want a little extra creaminess, try blending in a bit more Alfredo sauce.

Q: Can I use other types of pasta instead of lasagna noodles?

A: Sure, you can experiment with large pasta sheets or even use thinner noodles if you roll them up carefully. The lasagna noodles work best for structure tho.

Q: How spicy can I make this dish?

A: This recipe is on the milder side. But if you like a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when you cook the garlic in the olive oil.

Q: Can I add any extra veggies?

A: Yes, some spinach or sun-dried tomatoes would be a great addition. Just toss them in with the chicken and cheese to get a bit of extra flavor and nutrition.

Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you ain’t got cooked, shredded chicken breast, you can try using a rotisserie chicken or even turkey. It wont be the same but it still works ok.
If you run out of Alfredo sauce, you can mix some heavy cream with a bit of butter, garlic powder, and a splash of milk to mimic that creamy sauce.
Instead of mozzarella, you could use provolone or even a mild cheddar. Its not exactly the same but it gives you a nice melt in your roll ups.
If you don’t have Parmesan cheese, try grating some Pecorino Romano instead. Just keep in mind its a bit sharper so you might need less salt.
If you opt out of the ricotta cheese, a dollop of cottage cheese or even a bit of cream cheese can be a decent swap. It adds a similar creamy texture.

Pro Tips

1. When you cook the garlic in your skillet, keep an eye on it because sometimes it can burn real quick and end up bitter which messes with the sauce taste.
2. If you decide to use that ricotta cheese, mix it in well with the chicken and Alfredo sauce so that every bite gets that creamy kick, but don’t overdo it cause then it might get too runny.
3. Be extra careful when rolling your noodles. If they crack open, your filling might spill out and then you lose that perfect look and taste, so take your time with it.
4. After baking, let the dish sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the cheese set and makes it easier to eat without everything falling apart.
