Ingredients for Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Lasagna Rolls
- Alfredo Sauce: My special Alfredo sauce recipe includes garlic and crispy bacon for extra richness and depth of flavor.
- Bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon for a robust texture, or use standard bacon if preferred. You can even use pre-cooked bacon to save on prep time.
- Noodles: You’ll need 9 lasagna noodles, cooked until al dente.
- Broccoli: Fresh or frozen broccoli works here; if using frozen, it’s convenient to choose pre-chopped broccoli.
- Chicken: Ideal for using up leftover chicken or a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
- Cheese: The recipe calls for a trio of cheeses: parmesan, ricotta, and mozzarella, making it irresistibly creamy and cheesy.
Making Ahead
Yes, you can easily prepare these Alfredo lasagna rolls in advance. One approach is to prepare the Alfredo sauce up to four days ahead and store it in the fridge. Alternatively, assemble the rolls the night before and keep them refrigerated. When you’re ready, simply bake with Alfredo sauce and cheese.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave to enjoy a quick and tasty meal.
