let's make chicken Alfredo lasagna
0:06
roll-ups a cheesy creamy delicious easy
0:11
idea look at this cheese pull now while
0:16
we have a large pot of water coming to a
0:18
boil to cook our lasagna noodles let's
0:21
go over what we're going to need this is
0:24
it we're going to need one pound of
0:27
uncooked lasagna noodles now make sure
0:29
they're the uncooked and not the
0:32
pre-cooked lasagna sheets okay because
0:34
we got to be able to roll these
0:36
up you're going to need cooked chicken
0:39
you're going to need about four cups
0:41
i've got rotisserie chicken in here
0:42
we're going to be using that and chop
0:44
that up you're going to need some fresh
0:46
parsley give it a pop of color on the
0:49
top we got homestyle Alfredo sauce we're
0:53
going to make this dish easy today plus
0:55
I love the flavor of this one here we've
0:59
seasonings garlic powder Italian
1:04
blend some black pepper then we got to
1:07
cheese it up we're going to shred up
1:12
cheese and another flavor of cheese
1:16
parmesan right there now I'm on the back
1:20
burner with a large pot of water that I
1:21
brought to a boil and it comes to a boil
1:24
faster if you put a lid on it
1:27
i'm going to season my water with some
1:29
salt about half a tablespoon that'll
1:31
flavor our pasta too one pound of
1:35
lasagna noodles you just want the
1:36
regular ones cuz we're going to be
1:42
go now when you put them in just
1:45
in we're going to cook about 12 to 14
1:49
noodles i like to put in a few extra in
1:56
now I'm just going to help push them in
1:58
as they're softening down because you
2:01
don't want to break them we're going to
2:03
cook this per the directions on the
2:05
package for all dente and then what
2:08
we're going to do is drain these then
2:10
we're going to run cold water over them
2:12
to cool them down and that'll stop the
2:14
cooking process also and we'll be able
2:17
to roll them up i'm going to need some
2:19
mozzarella cheese so I'm going to shred
2:21
it now if you want a good cheese pull on
2:25
rollups use some fresh
2:28
cheese this is a whole milk mozzarella
2:31
cheese i'm just going to cut it to where
2:33
it fits into my grater so we're going to
2:45
fresh look at that cheese you ready for
2:53
he's like a little mouse that's nice
2:56
it's like a little mouse my god it's a
3:01
good All right we're at the end we're
3:05
shredding our two cups of
3:08
cheese oh look at that that's going to
3:12
melt really nice all right I went to go
3:15
get my knife look at this chicken you
3:18
want fully cooked chicken for this
3:20
recipe because it comes together pretty
3:24
quickly parsley wanted to jump in there
3:26
too you're going to need four cups of
3:29
fully cooked chicken and you can shred
3:32
it or chop it up into small pieces which
3:35
is what we're going to
3:36
do i'm going to start with this amount
3:38
here then we'll work our way we need to
3:41
add more i'm going to measure it
3:47
now I have the pasta draining in the
3:49
sink from the cold water bath it got now
3:53
you want to make sure that you keep
3:57
moving the pasta around so that it
3:59
doesn't stick i don't want to put oil in
4:01
it because I don't want it too slick as
4:03
we're trying to roll these rollups
4:07
up now I like using rotisserie chickens
4:09
for fast dishes they got a delicious
4:12
flavor to them and sometimes you can get
4:14
different flavors this is a traditional
4:17
flavor so we can pick up all the other
4:19
flavors we're going to add to it a
4:21
mosquite flavor would be really
4:23
good now you can prepare your chicken
4:26
any way you want to if you want to cook
4:28
it in the crock pot in your instant pot
4:30
if you want to bake your chicken if you
4:32
want to boil your chicken it doesn't
4:35
matter just give it some flavor as you
4:37
cook it so it's not just bland old
4:41
all right let's measure this out now I'm
4:44
using a 4 cup measuring tool
4:48
here now good thing I have a husband who
4:51
likes to take the meat off of a
4:54
chicken gives him a chance to eat all
4:56
the dark meat that I don't like so I
4:59
like the white meat too
5:03
all right I think we have four cups here
5:06
yeah perfect right there
5:09
let's build the filling in a large
5:12
mixing bowl we're going to place all of
5:18
good half of the mozzarella
5:22
cheese we're going to save the other
5:24
half for the top of it oh look at
5:30
that looks good or we may be shredding
5:33
some more for the top
5:37
we're going to add in 1/4 cup of
5:44
shredded there we go and then we're
5:46
going to add in a jar of Homestyle
5:48
Alfredo sauce it's 14.5 oz
5:56
size and then what I'm going to do is
5:58
just add a little very little bit of
6:01
water there's a line right there fill it
6:03
right there we don't want to make this
6:16
go now we're going to season jazz up
6:20
that jarred sauce there one teaspoon of
6:24
powder half a teaspoon of Italian
6:28
seasoning 1/4 teaspoon of some black
6:31
pepper and we're going to mix that all
6:37
go now I'm not adding any salt because
6:41
this is probably pretty salty enough but
6:43
we will go in give it a taste to make
6:45
sure that we don't need to add any other
6:47
flavors and if you feel like you want to
6:49
add some salt add some
6:52
salt okay let's grab a spoon this is our
6:57
flavor profile right here so we have to
6:58
make sure that it's good just going to
7:01
go with a little bit right there
7:13
delicious all right let's build some
7:15
roll-ups now I'm going to use a sheetpan
7:18
to just kind of help me build these
7:20
rollups and to keep them from sticking
7:22
on the sheetpan I'm just going to put a
7:24
piece of parchment paper on it and then
7:27
we're going to lay our lasagna noodles
7:29
we're just going to pull them out and
7:31
then just lay them down going across
7:33
nice and flat in a single layer and
7:36
build the first layer of these there we
7:46
go i probably get five of them on here
7:49
now I'm using a large scoop it's going
7:53
tablespoons i'm just going to go
7:55
in then I'm going to place the mixture
7:58
right there is fine we'll place it right
8:01
towards the edge of the lasagna
8:04
sheet there we go then we're just going
8:09
spatula spread it out all the way to the
8:13
end there we go nice and
8:28
i have another jar of the homestyle
8:30
Alfredo again it's 14.5 ouncez size i'm
8:34
going to put about a quarter of the jar
8:36
on the bottom of a 9 by13 baking
8:39
dish then I'm going to smooth it out
8:42
this will help the rollups from
8:45
sticking give them some nice flavor on
8:47
the bottom we'll go up the
8:50
sides let's start rolling them up
8:54
so we're going to take the end near us
8:57
and we're going to roll it now do this
8:59
loosely you don't have to pack it down
9:01
if you do then your filling's going to
9:03
come out and you don't want that to
9:04
happen so we're going to roll it all the
9:05
way to the end we're going to pick it up
9:08
and we're going to place it in our
9:09
baking dish seam side down now there's
9:12
my seam and we'll just place it down
9:16
just like that pull it up start rolling
9:20
very loosely as natural as it rolls pick
9:23
it up put it seamside down in our baking
9:28
dish now I'm going to leave a little
9:30
space in between so they don't stick
9:33
we're going to keep doing this until we
9:35
get to the end now when I do these five
9:36
here I will go back and do another sheet
9:52
right y'all so it made 10 of them in
9:55
this baking dish here what we're going
9:57
to do is top this okay now I have that
10:00
3/4 jar left of that homestyle Alfredo
10:03
sauce now what I did is I just added
10:04
some water to it and I'm just going to
10:07
shake it all up we're going to pour this
10:11
rollups oh it's going to make them saucy
10:15
i'm going to go down the sides down the
10:19
center get it all out i'm just going to
10:22
make sure that these are nice and
10:23
covered you want to do that so they
10:25
don't dry out on you remember that
10:28
freshly grated mozzarella that we did
10:31
we're going to put the rest of that
10:35
top more cheesy goodness y'all don't
10:38
call Joseph don't tell him it's here got
10:41
some more cheese to put on top this is
10:43
parmesan going right on the top got my
10:48
350° we're going to bake this
10:52
covered put some foil on it this is
10:55
non-stick foil if you're not using
10:57
non-stick foil you can spray your foil
11:00
with some non-stick cooking spray put
11:02
the spray side down on your dish that'll
11:05
keep that cheese from sticking to your
11:07
foil and pulling it right off your dish
11:10
which you don't want to have happen
11:12
all right so we'll put our foil on we're
11:15
going to bake this covered for 20
11:17
minutes we're going to pull off the foil
11:19
we're going to put it back in the oven
11:21
for another 10 minutes until that cheese
11:23
is nice and melted and golden brown
11:26
we're going to finish it off with some
11:28
parsley and you know I'm going to give
11:30
this a try for you there we go i let it
11:34
rest for just a few minutes to kind of
11:36
pull itself together
11:40
and we're going to give this a
11:54
try it's creamy it's cheesy it's
12:01
flavorful we didn't use many ingredients
12:04
at all maybe six along with some
12:07
seasonings that's good

12:20
