Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • - 12 lasagna noodle sheets
  • - 3 chicken breasts thighs, cutlets, or tenders
  • - 1 cup homemade Alfredo sauce made with butter, garlic, heavy whipping cream, Cajun seasoning, and parmesan cheese
  • - 1 15 oz container of ricotta cheese
  • - 1/2 block of cream cheese
  • - Freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • - Freshly shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • - Spinach optional, for the filling
  • - Cajun seasoning
  • - Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions
  • Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Season both sides with Cajun seasoning. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until it's thoroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from heat and dice the chicken into small pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, shredded Colby Jack, and diced chicken. If desired, add in some fresh spinach for extra flavor and nutrition. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, separate the noodles and blot them dry with a paper towel to prevent sticking.
  • To assemble the rolls, take one cooked lasagna noodle and place a generous amount of filling mixture along one end. Roll the noodle tightly, keeping the filling secure, and place it seam-side down in a greased 9x13 casserole pan. Repeat this process with the remaining noodles and filling.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour 1 cup of the Alfredo sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the filled lasagna rolls side by side in the dish. Spoon the remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolls and sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake the assembled lasagna roll-ups uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. For a finishing touch, you can broil the dish for a few minutes to brown the cheese, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  • Extra Tips
  • To enhance the flavor of your dish, consider using high-quality ricotta cheese for a creamier texture. This dish is also forgiving, allowing for personal adaptations to suit your family's preferences.
  • Be sure to separate and dry the noodles immediately after cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Adjust the Cajun seasoning to your taste for a spicier or milder flavor.
  • For a complete meal, serve your lasagna roll-ups with a side salad and garlic bread, making it a hearty and satisfying dinner option. Enjoy!
