Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups

I love lasagna. But I also love Chicken Alfredo. Combining these two fabulous dishes makes me happier than a kid in a candy shop. That's probably the Italian in me. Or maybe it's just THAT good that it could make almost anyone happy. Give these a try sometime and see what you think. I found this recipe on Pinterest and tweaked it a little bit to my liking.

Chicken Alfredo Roll-ups



Ingredients:

9 lasagna noodles (have an extra couple ready just in case they break)
2 ½ cups alfredo sauce (homemade or store bought if you can stomach that stuff)
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
oregano
garlic powder
3 cups shredded Mozzarella, separated
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 egg
  
Directions:
1. Spray an 8x8 dish with non-stick spray.  
2. Add enough alfredo sauce to just cover the bottom of the pan. 
3. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Don't overcook them! If anything you want them a little bit undercooked to reduce your chance of tearing them.  
4. While the noodles are cooking, combine 2 cups of the mozzarella, cottage cheese, and egg in a large bowl.
5. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water. Lay the noodles out on a paper towel.
6. Spread a thin layer of alfredo sauce over each noodle (about 2 tbsp). Sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder. 
7. Spread the shredded chicken evenly over each noodle and top with the cheese mixture. 
8. Roll each noodle up starting at one narrow end and roll the noodle over the toppings to the other end. You will need to lift the noodle a little as you roll to prevent squishing everything out.
9. Place the roll-ups in the pan seam-side down so they don't come undone while cooking. Pour the remaining alfredo sauce over the top. Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. 
10. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted on top. If you want the cheese browned on top just turn on the broiler for the last couple of minutes to get it golden and crusty. I like it that way buy if my kids see any brown they think it is "burned". Kids...gotta love them, right?
