Ingredients
  

  • lb. diced cooked chicken breast
  • 2 cups finely shredded Mozarella cheese
  • 12 lasagna noodles cooked

Alfredo Sauce:

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1-1½ cups grated Parmesan
  • A few drops of lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Dice chicken breast and stir fry until almost done. Let cool slightly. Chop small (or use food processor. Do not make chunks so small it is like a paste). Prepare noodles according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, prepare Alfredo sauce. Melt butter in medium saucepan. Turn off heat.Whisk in sour cream, then heavy cream, about ½ tsp. lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Add salt to taste. Add more cream or Parmesan to get an easily spreadable sauce. Add more lemon and Parmesan to taste.

Assembly:

  • Spread cooked noodles on wax paper or silicone cutting board. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo on each. Then layer with chicken and top with Mozarella. Loosely roll each noodle from one short end to the other. Place each noodle roll up seam-side down, in a 9/13 pan that has a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom. Pack the noodles tightly. Pour remaining sauce over roll ups (make another ½ recipe if needed). Roll ups should be well covered by sauce to keep from getting dry.
  • Bake covered for 20 minutes at 350 F. Uncover, spread a good amount of finely shredded Mozarella on top. Bake another 20 minutes uncovered, until bubbly and cheese is lightly browned. Sprinkle with dried basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

OPTIONAL: Add spinach or chopped broccoli. Sprinkle a little dried basil over the chicken before rolling.
