Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
-
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture over each lasagna noodle, then roll them up tightly.
-
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
-
Place the roll-ups seam side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups.
-
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with sautéed spinach or mushrooms. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as Asiago or Gruyère, for a unique flavor profile. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture. For those who enjoy a creamier sauce, consider adding a béchamel layer before rolling the noodles. This recipe is quite versatile, so feel free to adjust the herbs and spices to suit your taste.
