A close-up view of a baking tray filled with six rolled tortillas covered in a layer of melted white cheese that is golden and bubbly in spots, sprinkled with finely chopped green herbs. Each tortilla is placed side by side in two rows, showing a soft texture under a slightly browned cheese topping. The cheese is thick and creamy, smoothly covering each roll with specks of black pepper and herbs adding texture. The tray is dark and rests on a white marbled surface, with warm light highlighting the shiny, melty cheese. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 lasagna noodles
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups marinara sauce
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4: Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle, then roll each noodle up tightly.
Step 5: Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the roll-ups seam side down in the dish.
Step 6: Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
Step 7: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 8: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture or substitute cooked turkey for chicken for a different flavor.
To save time, use pre-shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken.
Add chopped spinach or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for extra vegetables.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. You can also freeze the baked roll-ups before baking for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
