Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups

Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups

From Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade: The Complete Cookbook

12 lasagna noodles
1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Italian dressing
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (I used Purdue chicken strips that were pre-cooked)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

1.  Preheat oven to 350º.  In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook lasagna noodles for 8 minutes.  Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking; drain again. Set aside.

2.  In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, beaten egg, Italian seasoning, garlic, and parsley.

3.  Spread ½ cup of the marinara sauce in a 9x13 baking dish.  Spread each lasagna noodle with 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese mixture; sprinkle each with 3 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.  Roll up filled noodles and place, seam sides down, in prepared baking dish.  Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over roll-ups.

4.  Cover with foil.  Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes.  Remove foil; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Bake for 10 minutes more.  Serve hot.
