Chicken Alfredo lasagna roll ups are fun to make and even more fun to eat! I stuffed each roll up with chicken and cheese, smothered them with Alfredo sauce, and baked them to golden brown perfection. There’s nothing quite as comforting as a baked pasta dish, and these chicken lasagna roll ups do not disappoint!
These chicken Alfredo lasagna roll ups are everything I love about traditional lasagna and chicken Alfredo , simply rolled up instead! Ready in less than an hour with 30 minutes of hands-off time, I always appreciate the ease and simplicity of this weeknight dinner recipe. My whole family loves these lasagna roll ups!
What’s in This Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups Recipe?
- Lasagna Noodles: These form the base of the roll ups, giving them structure. I recommend using dried lasagna noodles rather than the no-boil kind since we need them cooked in order to roll properly.
- Alfredo Sauce : This is where this recipe can be really easy or more complex if you like. I usually opt for jarred sauce, but when I have some homemade left over, I’ll use that instead.
- Shredded Cooked Chicken : This recipe is a perfect opportunity to use up that leftover cooked chicken you’ve had sitting in the fridge or freezer. You can also use a rotisserie chicken from the store.
- Cheese: Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses make this dish gooey and cheesy– just how I like it!
- Garlic Powder: Adds a little extra savory flavor to the filling.
- Lemon Zest: Brightens up the filling so it’s not too heavy.
- Italian Seasoning : Adds classic Italian flavor to the filling.
Tips for Success
- To prevent the noodles from tearing, make sure to cook the noodles just to al dente – if the noodles are too soft, they can easily break. Rinsing the noodles under cold water will also prevent them from sticking to each other, which can lead to breaking.
- I always like to make a couple of extra noodles just in case!
- To make vegetarian lasagna roll ups, simply omit the chicken from the filling, add sautéed spinach or roasted broccoli to the filling, or use the filling recipe from these spinach stuffed shells .
- Place the roll ups seam-side down in the baking dish to keep them intact while they bake.
- To make ahead, prepare the recipe through step 5. Cover and place in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, remove from the refrigerator and continue with step 6. You may need to add a few minutes to the bake time as this dish will be chilled.
- After 20 minutes in the oven, remove the foil so the roll ups get toasty and golden brown. For crispy cheese, broil the roll ups after baking for 2-3 minutes.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover chicken alfredo lasagna roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating covered in a 350°F oven for 20-30 minutes, or until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
I love to serve these cheesy chicken lasagna roll ups with some homemade garlic bread , a Caesar salad , and lemon Parmesan roasted broccoli . Yum!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
