Lasagna Chicken and Spinach Rolls

Over the weekend I made delicious lasagna rolls that I stuffed with ricotta cheese, spinach and chicken. I'm horrible when it comes to measuring things. I pretty much just wing it and throw stuff together. Basically, I'm too lazy to measure.

But luckily, I haven't fooled things up too much. Yet!

So here is the best shot of the measurements that I think I used.

Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless cooked chicken breasts
1 can of Spaghetti Sauce or approx. 2 cups of home made sauce
8 lasagna noodles
1 1/2 cups Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup of Parmesan Cheese
2 cups of spinach
Dash of salt and pepper


First you make your sauce (or use store bought - whatever works). I had some home made sauce frozen in the freezer, so I thawed that out.

You'll also want to cook your chicken at this time as well. I fried 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I had cut into small chucks. Shredding it would have been good, too.

Boil your lasagna noodles for about 10 minutes. I used 9 noodles (which was way to much for just me and my fiancée). Throw on some garlic bread and you can expect it will serve 3 or 4 people (depending on appetite).While your noodles are cooking, you can make the cheese mixture.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of ricotta cheese, 1/4 cups of Parmesan cheese, cooked chicken breasts chunks and 2 cups of spinach. I always use fresh spinach but you could use the frozen kind too if it's thawed and drained. I added a dash of salt and pepper to this as well.

Once your lasagna noodles are cooked, remove them from the water. I used tongs to remove them individually and placed them on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes. I ran them under cold water before placing them on the sheet so they wouldn't be all starchy. You can pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees F about now.

I lined a 13x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper (because I'm lazy and hate the mess) and spooned some of the spaghetti sauce evenly on the bottom of the dish.

Once the noodles had cooled off, I spooned the cheese mixture on the bottom half of the noodle and rolled them up. You'll want to place them seam-side down into the dish and cover with the rest of your sauce.

Of course, don't forget to add some extra Parm on top!!!

Cover (with foil) and pop that baby into the oven and cook for about 20-25 minutes.

If your anything like me, you can add a little bit of extra Parmesan cheese on top and viola!

Here you have it ... delicious!
