Perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or even meal prep, this dish offers a blend of decadence and convenience, wrapped up into beautiful single-serving spirals of cheesy goodness.

What Are Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups?
Lasagna roll ups are a creative variation of traditional layered lasagna. Instead of building a layered casserole, each lasagna noodle is spread with filling, rolled into a spiral, and baked standing up or laid flat in a dish. It’s a fun and practical way to portion your lasagna, and it makes for a stunning presentation.
In this version, the roll-ups are filled with shredded chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan, then smothered in a creamy Alfredo sauce. The result is a rich and comforting dish with tender chicken, savory cheese, and a velvety sauce that ties it all together.
Ingredients You’ll Need

- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

- 1 egg (for binding)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped spinach or parsley for extra flavor and color
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste

How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups
1. Cook the Lasagna Noodles
Start by boiling your lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a sheet of parchment paper or lightly greased baking sheet to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Slowly whisk in the parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Make the Chicken Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed. If you’re adding spinach or herbs, fold them in at this stage.
4. Assemble the Roll Ups
Spread a layer of the chicken mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle. Carefully roll each one up from end to end like a jelly roll. Place each roll-up seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
5. Add the Sauce and Cheese
Pour about half of the Alfredo sauce into the bottom of your baking dish before placing in the roll-ups. Once the roll-ups are arranged, spoon the remaining sauce over the top of them. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella generously over everything.
6. Bake
Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil for a fresh touch. Serve with garlic bread and a side salad for a complete meal.
Why You’ll Love This Dish
- Perfectly Portioned: Each roll-up is like an individual lasagna serving, making portion control and presentation easy.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Assemble the dish ahead of time, refrigerate, and bake when ready. It also freezes beautifully.
- Rich, Creamy Flavor: The Alfredo sauce adds indulgence without being overly heavy, while the chicken keeps the dish hearty and filling.
- Customizable: You can swap in different cheeses, add veggies, or even use a store-bought Alfredo sauce if short on time.
Tips for Success
- Use oven-ready or cooked noodles that are slightly underdone so they don’t break when rolling.
- Shred your own cheese for better meltability — pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that affect texture.
- Let it rest before serving — this helps the sauce settle and prevents the roll-ups from falling apart.
Variations to Try
- Spinach & Artichoke Roll Ups: Add chopped spinach and artichokes to the filling for a veggie twist.
- Spicy Alfredo Chicken Roll Ups: Mix in red pepper flakes or use Cajun-seasoned chicken for a little kick.
- Mushroom Alfredo Roll Ups: Sauté mushrooms and fold into the filling for a rich, earthy flavor.
- Pesto Alfredo: Add a spoonful of basil pesto to the Alfredo sauce for a herby upgrade.
