Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (about 280g)
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste (start with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper)
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook until just al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and lay noodles flat on a clean towel.
  2. In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add half the green onions and half the crumbled bacon. If mixture is too stiff, add 1-2 tablespoons milk.
  3. Spread about 2 tablespoons filling evenly over each noodle, leaving a small border. Sprinkle with half the cheddar and a bit of mozzarella. Roll each noodle up gently, starting from the short end. Lay seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. Mix remaining ranch with milk to make a pourable sauce (about 1/2 cup total liquid). Pour over the rolls. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and cheddar. Add remaining bacon and green onions on top.
  5. Cover dish loosely with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and golden.
  6. Let rolls sit for 5 minutes to set. Use a spatula to lift out each roll and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, slightly undercook noodles so they hold their shape when rolled. Use crispy bacon for texture contrast. If prepping ahead, assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking, adding 5-10 minutes to bake time. Rolls can be frozen before or after baking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free lasagna noodles. Add fresh herbs or spinach for extra flavor and color.
