Chicken Alfredo Roll Up

 Not a lot has been going on here lately. For the past several weeks, I have been getting home from work late so our nights consist of making dinner, playing for a bit, and then bed.  Dinners have been very hit or miss lately.  More often than not we pull what we can find from the fridge and whip something together, but I know I need to get back into the routine of cooking home made dinners every night. So tonight, I tried one of the recipes I have been wanting to try for awhile that I found on Pinterest.  The recipe can be found Here. But to make life easier for me (and you, if you are interested), here it is...


Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups

Ingredients:

• 9 Lasagna Noodles
• 2 ½ cups Alfredo sauce ( I used 1 jar)
•  2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I boiled 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts for 15 minutes and then shredded) 
• oregano  
• garlic salt  
• 3 cups shredded Mozzarella, or cheese of your choice (I used mozzarella and reduced fat cheddar since that's what's I had in the fridge.)

Spray an 8x8 pan with non-stick spray and pour ½ cup Alfredo sauce, or just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Boil 8-10 cups water in a large pan, cook lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to prevent them from sticking to each other. Then, lay out each noodle individually and blot dry with a paper towel.

Spread about 2 Tbs. Alfredo sauce over each noodle. Sprinkle oregano and garlic salt on top of sauce.(Just a tiny bit. I made the mistake of being too generous and I could really tell when eating it. I would use less next time.) Take 1/9 of the shredded chicken and spread it out evenly over each noodle. Add approx. 3 Tbs. cheese. To roll up, start at one end and roll the noodle over the toppings. You will need to lift the noodle a little to prevent squishing out the inside ingredients while rolling.

Place the roll-ups in the pan, one by one, seam-side down so they don't come undone. Once they are all in the pan, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted on top.

And Viola, a delicious dinner!
