Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls
Lasagna? Classic. Chicken Alfredo Lasagna? Whoa. It's about damn time we reinvent the wheel. Change the game. Bring out the new classics.
Rolling the lasagna noodles into individual portions make serving a dream. Sloppy plating is a thing of the past and so is maneuvering your way around stringy hot cheese when you move a piece of lasagna from the baking dish to your plate. Just look at how beautiful they are.
In order for this recipe to work, you must...
...slice the chicken into very thin, long strips. I found thinly sliced, boneless skinless chicken at my local grocery store. Which I then cut into the width I needed for them to fit onto the lasagna noodles. If you don't feel like handling raw chicken, you can make it easier by adding cooked chicken into the cheese mixture. Rotisserie chicken would be awesome. Diced cooked shrimp would be even crazier, for a shrimp Alfredo version. Cooking time also gets cut to about 25-30 minutes if you use pre-cooked chicken.

The Alfredo sauce can be homemade or store bought. I had a jar on hand in the pantry so I saved some time. Fresh parsley is key in making the flavors stand out. It's always a good thing to garnish with fresh produce.
The boyfriend kept proclaiming how amazing this dish was during our dinner. In the time since, he keeps asking when I'm going to make this again. And he does this heavy breathing thing when I started to post these photos up.
