Learn how to make delicious Creamy Cajun Chicken Lasagna Rollups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gathering your ingredients is the first step toward creating this flavorful dish. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 8 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste for spice level)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

For those who prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the Cajun seasoning. And if you’re seeking a vegetarian option, consider substituting the chicken with sautéed mushrooms or zucchini—adaptability is key, just like my mom taught me.

Instructions

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this delightful dish. Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a culinary adventure!

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onion, sautéing until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the shredded chicken, ensuring it’s well coated with the spices. Cook for another 3 minutes.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir in the chicken and pepper mixture until well blended.
  7. Lay each lasagna noodle flat and spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture over each one. Carefully roll each noodle up and place seam side down in a greased baking dish.
  8. Pour heavy cream over the rollups and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  10. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

With each bite, you’ll be reminded of cozy family dinners, filled with love and laughter—a little nod to my childhood days in Asheville.
