Chicken Ricotta Rollups

I was inspired by a recipe on Pinterest and created my own.


I had a chicken that I had roasted because it was in the fridge and it needed to be cooked.  I then pulled off the meat and set it aside


I added 1 container of part-skim ricotta cheese and a bag of frozen brocolli.


I had soaked lasagna noodles in some fairly warm water to get them soft.


I placed a noodle in a 9x13 baking dish, added about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture, sprinkled on mozzarella cheese and rolled up.  After all of the rolls were complete, I covered with a jar of pasta sauce and sprinkled with grated fresh Parmesan cheese.  I baked at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes.

Combine chicken, ricotta and brocolli in a bowl.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Lay lasagna noodles in 9x13 baking dish and put 1/2 cup of chicken mixture at one end.  Sprinkle with mozzarella and roll up.  Cover with pasta sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
