For the Garlic Alfredo Sauce

- Garlic & Garlic Powder – Infuses the sauce with deep garlic flavor for a bold, savory taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups
1. Get everything ready
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray so the roll-ups release easily after baking.
2. Cook the noodles
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions until they’re al dente. Drain them, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking, then lay them on paper towels to dry. This keeps them from sticking together and makes rolling much easier.
3. Make the homemade Alfredo sauce
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt together the butter, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese until smooth. Whisk in the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Once everything is well combined, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let the sauce gently simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, just until it thickens slightly. Remove from the heat.
4. Assemble the roll-ups
Spread 1 cup of Alfredo sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Lay each lasagna noodle flat, spread 2 tablespoons of Alfredo sauce over it, then add 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken and 3 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese. Roll each noodle up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
Finish by pouring the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top and sprinkling on the remaining mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake
Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cheese has melted completely and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
6. Let them rest, then serve
Give the roll-ups a few minutes to cool before serving. The filling settles slightly, making them easier to serve while still perfectly creamy.
Tips and Variations to Make Them Your Own
One of the best things about these Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups is how easy they are to adapt to what you already have in the kitchen.
- Rotisserie chicken is a fantastic shortcut and adds plenty of flavor while saving prep time.
- Cook the lasagna noodles just until al dente so they’re sturdy enough to roll without tearing.
- Let the Alfredo sauce thicken slightly before assembling. A slightly thicker sauce stays where you want it instead of running off the noodles.
- If your noodles start sticking together, simply lay them flat on paper towels after draining until you’re ready to assemble.
- Want to sneak in some vegetables? Finely chopped spinach, mushrooms, or roasted peppers fit beautifully inside the roll-ups without changing the creamy texture.
- An Italian cheese blend can be used alongside the mozzarella if you’d like even more cheesy flavor.
- These roll-ups are perfect for making ahead. Assemble everything, cover, and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. If baking straight from the fridge, simply allow a few extra minutes in the oven.
- You can also freeze the assembled, unbaked roll-ups for a future dinner. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
How to Serve Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups
These creamy roll-ups are rich and comforting, so simple sides are all you need to turn them into a complete meal.
Warm garlic bread is perfect for soaking up every bit of the homemade Alfredo sauce, while a crisp green salad adds freshness that balances the richness of the pasta. Roasted broccoli, asparagus, or green beans also make excellent side dishes if you’d like to add more vegetables.
For an extra finishing touch, sprinkle a little fresh parsley and grated Parmesan over the top just before serving. It adds fresh flavor and makes the dish look just as inviting as it tastes.
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, you’re in for a treat—they reheat wonderfully and are just as creamy the next day.
