Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls are my go—to comfort dish whenever I want something creamy and crowd—pleasing that always impresses at family dinners. They layer all the cozy flavors of Alfredo pasta into neat rolls that are easy to serve and stunning on the table. This recipe is perfect when you want a twist on classic lasagna without all the stress of layering and cutting messy squares.
My favorite part about making these is watching friends discover that first bite—nobody expects lasagna to be this decadent or dinner party friendly. I once served this for a birthday dinner and everyone kept asking for the recipe before dessert even hit the table.
What You'll Need
- lasagna noodles: regular or oven—ready pick ones that are wide and sturdy to hold the filling
- cooked chicken: shredded rotisserie saves time and always stays juicy
- ricotta cheese: smooth texture plus balanced richness
- Parmesan cheese: for salty tang and flavor boost taste the cheese to be sure it is not too sharp
- mozzarella cheese: for perfect melt and stringy pulls make sure it is not pre—shredded for best melting
- Alfredo sauce: use a favorite jarred brand or homemade if you have extra time
- garlic powder: for mellow allover flavor without biting raw garlic
- Italian seasoning: balances everything with a blend of herbs
- salt and pepper: for seasoning taste as you go for best results
- fresh parsley: a must for color brightness and a finishing touch
How to Make It Happen
- Boil the Noodles:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Drop in the lasagna noodles gently and stir them occasionally so they do not stick together. Cook them just until al dente about 8 minutes. Drain the noodles and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel so they do not stick or tear.
- Mix the Cheesy Chicken Filling:
- In a big mixing bowl use a fork or clean hands to mix together the shredded chicken creamy ricotta half the mozzarella all the Parmesan plus the garlic powder Italian seasoning and your salt and pepper. Make sure every shred of chicken gets coated for even flavor in every roll.
- Spread and Fill:
- Ladle a layer of Alfredo sauce covering the bottom of your baking dish so nothing sticks. Next working one noodle at a time spread a scoop of the filling evenly from end to end. Roll up the noodle gently and hold it seam side down in the sauce—lined dish. Repeat for all noodles tucking each roll snugly beside the next.
- Top and Finish:
- Pour the rest of the Alfredo sauce over the rolls covering every edge so none of the noodles dry out while baking. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella across the top for a bubbly browned finish.
- Bake It Just Right:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover the dish with foil so everything stays moist. Bake for 25 minutes then uncover the pan and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes. Look for golden cheese and bubbling sauce.
- Let Rest and Garnish:
- Take the dish out and let it cool for at least 10 minutes so the rolls set and flavors settle. Sprinkle over fresh parsley before serving.

The mozzarella is my soft spot in this recipe—nothing beats the grins around the table when everyone pulls up gooey cheesy bites. Once when my nephew tried this for the first time the look of surprise at how creamy it was made my night.
Keeping It Fresh
If you have any leftovers simply store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The rolls stay creamy for up to four days and reheat well in the microwave with a splash of milk to keep things saucey.
Smart Swaps and Substitutions
For a lighter version try swapping part—skim ricotta or using a light Alfredo sauce. Swap chicken for turkey or leftover roast pork if that is what you have. You could even go vegetarian by using spinach and mushrooms in place of meat.
Perfect Pairings
Serve alongside crisp green salads tossed with lemon vinaigrette or roasted green beans for balance. I also love pairing these rolls with garlic bread or sliced baguette to soak up all that luscious sauce.
