Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

Jump to Recipe

When you want a dinner that feels special but still fits into a busy schedule, Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls are the perfect solution. They deliver everything you love about classic chicken Alfredo—garlicky cream sauce, tender chicken, and plenty of cheese—wrapped into neat, individual lasagna roll-ups that bake up bubbly and golden.

Unlike traditional lasagna (which can be a little messy to slice), these rolls are portion-friendly and presentation-ready. Each noodle is filled, rolled, and nestled into a baking dish with a silky homemade Alfredo sauce. The end result is rich, comforting, and ideal for weeknights, family gatherings, or make-ahead meals.

If you’ve been searching for alfredo lasagna roll ups, chicken alfredo roll ups, or an easy baked pasta dish with restaurant-style flavor, this recipe checks all the boxes.


What Makes These Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls So Good?

1) Creamy filling + creamy sauce
The filling blends chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, and Italian seasoning into a flavorful, cheesy mixture. Then everything gets coated in a simple homemade Alfredo sauce.

2) Easy to assemble
Once the noodles are cooked and laid flat, it’s just spread, roll, and place in the dish. No fancy techniques required.

3) Great for meal prep
You can assemble the rolls ahead of time and bake later. They also reheat well, making leftovers something to look forward to.


Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Lasagna Rolls

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Alfredo Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Topping

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped parsley (optional)

Step-by-Step: How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

Step 1: Cook the noodles

Boil the lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain, then lay them flat on parchment paper (or a lightly greased surface) so they don’t stick together. This small step makes rolling much easier.

Step 2: Mix the chicken-cheese filling

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture looks smooth and evenly blended.

Tip: Shredded rotisserie chicken is a huge time-saver and tastes great here.

Step 3: Make the homemade Alfredo sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly (about 30 seconds) until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 3–4 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

Important: Keep the heat gentle—Alfredo sauce can separate if boiled aggressively.

Step 4: Assemble the lasagna roll-ups

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of your baking dish.
Spread the chicken filling evenly over each noodle, then roll them up snugly. Place each roll seam-side down in the dish.

Step 5: Bake until bubbly

Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the topping mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden.

Step 6: Rest and garnish

Let the rolls rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you like a fresh finish.


Tips for Best Results

  • Don’t overcook the noodles: Overly soft noodles tear and won’t roll neatly.
  • Grate Parmesan fresh if possible: It melts smoother into the sauce.
  • Spread filling evenly: A consistent layer helps each roll cook the same.
  • Let it rest: This helps the sauce thicken slightly and keeps the rolls from sliding apart when served.

Easy Variations

Want to switch it up while keeping the same creamy Alfredo vibe?

  • Spinach Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls: Stir in sautéed spinach (squeeze out excess moisture).
  • Mushroom Alfredo Roll-Ups: Add sautéed mushrooms to the filling for a deeper flavor.
  • Extra cheesy: Add a little mozzarella on the bottom layer before placing the rolls.
  • Herby upgrade: Mix chopped parsley or basil into the filling for a fresher taste.

Storage and Make-Ahead Instructions

  • Make ahead: Assemble the rolls, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Refrigerate leftovers: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze (best unbaked): Wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake.

Reheating tip: Add a spoonful of cream or extra Alfredo sauce before reheating to keep everything ultra-creamy.
