Chicken Spinach Lasagna Rollups
Preheat 350
1. Boil water and noodles to al-dente... I used a whole box because only half the box didn't break while cooking the lasagna noodles.
2. 2lbs chicken, seasoned with garlic powder, salt and pepper, cooked and chopped (i used my Pampered Chef hand chopper)
1 c. chopped fresh spinach leaves (also chopped leaves with my hand chopper)
2-3 Roma tomatoes sliced and quartered... I used my paring knife to cut the tomatoes...
Mix all three ingredients in large bowl and set aside.
3. Mix ricotta cheese, one egg, 3/4 c. shredded mozzerella cheese, a couple tablespoons of oregano, parsley, and basil... or just add a couple tablespoons of Italian seasoning. I don't really measure anything... sorry. Season to your liking I say.
Set bowl aside.
4. Pour jar of Alfredo sauce on bottom of dish you will bake the rollups in.
5. Lay out flat the lasagna noodle, spoon on the ricotta mixture, top with chicken mixture. Roll it up and set in baking dish. Repeat until you run out of noodles.
6. Cover with another jar of alfredo sauce. Top with spinach leaves and sliced roma tomatoes and bake for 30 minutes.
7. After 30 minutes, remove from oven and top with shredded mozzarella cheese and italian breadcrumbs. Bake another 10-15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Okay, so my recipe may be kind of vague... it's how I cook. I don't really measure anything. If you have any of the chicken/spinach/tomato mixture left over you can add mayo to it and have yourself some chicken salad later! :)
this recipe i found from Weight Watchers... I just changed it. I used chicken instead of beef. i used alfredo sauce instead of spaghetti sauce, and i probably used a lil too much cheese. I added tomatoes to the chicken mixture instead of mushrooms. Italian recipes are so fun and can be changed to whatever you like.
Here you don't see the tomato because I forgot to add it to the mixture. the tomato was a last second addition and i forgot to take a picture with the tomato added.
Before I put it in the oven, I used the remaining spinach leaves and roma tomatoes I had to garnish it before it went into the oven. Looks kinda pretty before I put it in the oven, doesn't it?
I had added cheese and breadcrumbs after 30 minutes of baking in the oven and put it back in for another 15 minutes. This was the overall outcome... It was really delicious!
