Thanks Suz for the recipe. Remember if you want to submit a recipe to share please email righteoussisterhood@gmail.com

BAKED CHICKEN LASAGNA ROLLS

Ingredients

2 cups part skim ricotta cheese

1¼ cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

1 egg

1 clove fresh garlic, grated

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 cups shredded baked chicken breasts*

8 cooked lasagna noodles

1 ½ cup tomato sauce

Fresh basil, thinly sliced

* As a time-saver, you can use a rotisserie chicken from your grocer’s deli.

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Mix first eight ingredients, reserving ¼ cup of mozzarella to add to top. Set aside.
3. Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on countertop. Lay noodles flat atop plastic wrap, top each noodle with a layer of ricotta mixture and ¼ cup chicken.
4. Starting at one end, roll one noodle at a time.
5. Fill the bottom of a baking dish with ½ cup of tomato sauce.
6. Lay rolls seam-side down, cover with remaining tomato sauce, and sprinkle with ¼ cup mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes.
8. Top with fresh basil just before serving.

I like to serve this dish with homemade bruschetta and a Caesar salad.
