Got Leftover Chicken? Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls!

I bet everyone does have leftover chicken and often too.

Since I eat a lot of chicken, I have almost constant leftovers. As a rule, I don’t care for chicken when it’s reheated, especially roast chicken for some reason. But I often get tired of my usual chicken salad for what I have left, so I’m always trying to think of new ways to use what I have.

Now That Box Of Lasagna…

Does anyone ever use the entire box of lasagna? Most people I know use nine noodles. I’m extravagant and use 12, but I still have orphans that remain in the box.

These rolls are an excellent way to use those orphaned noodles.  You may only have 3-4 noodles, but that will probably be enough to serve 4 regular appetites or 2 large ones.

The filling will be enough to fill 6 noodle rolls. At least that’s what I got out of it and I did have an unopened box of lasagna in the pantry so I was able to make more. However, if you only have your orphans, you can reduce the filling recipe by half.

Alfredo Sauce–Rich But Easy

If you don’t want to fuss or buy the ingredients if you don’t have them, then you can use a jar of commercial Alfredo sauce. It makes the whole meal easier, but I will say that I haven’t found a commercial sauce that I’ve liked, so I make my own.

All it takes is cream, milk, Parmesan cheese and egg yolks. The sauce is actually a custard. I give my recipe in the recipe card and the best thing about that recipe, besides tasting awesome, is that it keeps well. I’ve kept it in the coldest part of my fridge for close to a month. You may have to thin it with some additional milk for it’s second use.
