Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups
Description
This recipe prepares the filling by combining shredded chicken and peas with shiitake mushrooms sautéed in butter, along with garlic and onions cooked until soft. Heavy cream is simmered and gradually blended with Parmesan cheese to create a thickened, smooth Alfredo sauce. Part of the sauce is reserved for baking.
Boiled lasagna sheets are spread with the chicken and Alfredo mixture, rolled up, and placed in a baking dish. The remaining sauce is poured over the rolls before baking at 375°F until hot and bubbly, encouraging a creamy, cheesy surface with tender pasta inside.
The dish provides a rich, savory flavor with the earthiness of shiitake balancing the creamy cheese and chicken. The peas add color and subtle sweetness. This filling can also be frozen after assembly and baked later, with instructions for reheating from frozen. The dish yields approximately 12 roll ups, making it suitable for a family meal or gathering.
Ingredients
alfredo filling
- 4 cups chicken shredded
- 1 cup peas frozen, thawed
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 12 ounces shiitake mushroom thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 yellow onion small, diced
- 3 ½ cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces Parmesan Cheese grated, divided
assembly
- 16 lasagna sheet dry, with fluted edges, boiled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F.
- Pour chicken and peas into a large mixing bowl and toss together.
- Place 1 ½ tablespoons butter in a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add to the chicken and peas.
- Add remaining butter to the skillet and add garlic and onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour cream into the mixture and lower the heat to medium-low and simmer. Season with salt and pepper and continue to simmer until the cream reduces by ½ cup, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Once the cream has reduced begin whisking in Parmesan, ½ ounce at a time, until all about 6 ounces of Parmesan has been added and the sauce is smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper and continue to simmer the sauce until it thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Reserve 2 cups of the alfredo sauce and pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and pea mixture and fold together. Adjust seasonings.
- To assemble: Pour 1 cup alfredo sauce into the bottom of an 8”x8” baking dish and set aside. Pace a cooked lasagna sheet onto a clean surface and top with a layer of the creamy chicken mixture.
- Tightly roll the lasagna sheet up completely. Carefully place it into the prepared baking dish, spiral side-up. Repeat until all of the sheets and filling have been used and snuggly fit into the baking dish. Drizzle roll ups with remaining alfredo sauce.
- Sprinkle the top of the dish with the half of the remaining Parmesan and place baking dish in the oven for about 25 minutes. Remove from oven, top with remaining Parmesan and allow the dish to cool slightly. Serve.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 12 roll ups, suitable for multiple servings.
- To freeze, wrap assembled roll ups tightly in foil after sprinkling half the Parmesan, then freeze.
- To serve from frozen, bake covered in foil for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10 to 12 minutes before sprinkling remaining Parmesan.
