Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 12 cooked lasagna noodles (preferably al dente)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra smoky flavor)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
- Extra BBQ sauce (for drizzling on top)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
Start by cooking the chicken breasts. You can grill, bake, or pan-sear them, then shred the chicken using two forks. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup of BBQ sauce. Toss to coat, ensuring every piece of chicken is enveloped in the smoky sauce. Set aside.
2. Cook the Lasagna Noodles:
Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set them aside to cool. To prevent the noodles from sticking together, you can drizzle them with a little olive oil or spread them on a parchment-lined surface.
3. Make the Cheesy Mixture:
In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and spices (smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper). This will create a creamy and cheesy filling that will balance out the smokiness of the BBQ chicken.
4. Assemble the Lasagna Rolls:
Now, it’s time to assemble the rolls! Lay out each cooked lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the cheese mixture evenly across the noodle, then top with a generous portion of the BBQ chicken mixture. Carefully roll up the noodle, securing all the filling inside. Repeat this process with the remaining noodles.
5. Bake the Lasagna Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the lasagna rolls seam side down in the dish, ensuring they’re snug but not overcrowded. Drizzle a little extra BBQ sauce over the top and sprinkle with a bit more shredded mozzarella if desired.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the rolls are golden brown.
