Hey y’all! Ready to dive into the world of deliciousness? Well, get your aprons on because we’re talking about White Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups – the kind of comfort food that gives you warm happy vibes.
I’m sharing one of my favorite kitchen secrets for whipping up this quick and delicious Italian-inspired meal during the week. Now, I have a confession—I’m not a tomato person, so when it comes to pasta, alfredo sauce is my ride-or-die. I know, I know, some folks swear by making it from scratch (and sometimes I do too), but let me spill the beans on my weeknight hack—jarred alfredo sauce. Trust me; it’s a game-changer.
Chicken, Not Beef:
Now, here’s another twist—I swap out the traditional beef for ground chicken. Why? Well, I’m not much of a beef eater, and chicken adds a light and flavorful touch that keeps things interesting. It’s a small change, but it makes a world of difference.
Cheese, Please!
Let’s talk about the star of the show—cheese! I mean, who doesn’t love a generous helping of gooey, melty goodness? These roll ups are practically smothered in it. Now, in the video below, you’ll see I like to leave it all melty and irresistible, but here’s the thing—you’ve got options. Want that crispy, golden-brown cheese topping? Go for it! It’s your culinary playground.
The best part? This isn’t some elaborate, weekend-only recipe. Nope, it’s my go-to for a quick weeknight meal that’s not only easy but can feed the whole family or leave you with leftovers for a couple of days.
Here’s a peek at what goes down in my kitchen (check out the video below). But remember, recipes are meant to be tweaked, so feel free to add your own flair!
And there you have it—my recipe for White Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups. It’s proof that you don’t need a ton of time or ingredients to whip up something delicious during the week.

White Lasagna Roll Ups
Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 15- ounce jar of Alfredo sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set them aside to cool.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and is cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, if using.
- Pour half of the jar of Alfredo sauce into the skillet with the cooked chicken and stir to combine. Allow it to heat through for a few minutes.
- Lay out a cooked lasagna noodle on a clean surface, like a cutting board or a piece of parchment paper. Spoon a portion of the chicken and Alfredo sauce mixture onto the noodle and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
- Carefully roll up the lasagna noodle, starting from one end to the other, keeping the filling inside.
- Place the rolled lasagna noodle seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat this process for all the lasagna noodles.
- Once all the roll-ups are in the baking dish, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top of the roll-ups and sprinkle with additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the roll-ups are heated through.
- If you want the cheese to brown and become bubbly, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.
