Ingredients
  

9 lasagna noodles

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

2 cups spinach (fresh or thawed frozen)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups marinara sauce

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when you’re finished assembling the roll-ups.

    Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8 minutes. Once done, drain the noodles and lay them flat on a clean towel or parchment paper to cool.

      Prepare the Filling: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, spinach, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork or spatula to mix all the ingredients until they are well combined and creamy.

        Assemble the Roll-Ups: Take one lasagna noodle and place it on a clean, flat surface. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the chicken filling onto the noodle, spreading it evenly, but avoid overfilling. Carefully roll the noodle from one end to the other, forming a tube shape. Place the rolled noodle seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Repeat the process with the remaining noodles and filling.

          Add Marinara Sauce: Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the top of the assembled lasagna roll-ups, ensuring that each roll is fully covered with sauce. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the top for a delicious cheesy finish.

            Bake the Roll-Ups: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent drying out. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After this time, carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and has turned a lovely golden brown.

              Serve: Once baked, take the dish out of the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. For an elegant touch, garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm and relish the delightful flavors of your savory herb chicken lasagna roll-ups!
