Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Combine the pulled chicken, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, beaten egg, and fresh basil in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Lay the cooked lasagna noodles on a clean work surface and spread a generous layer of the chicken mixture along each noodle.
Carefully roll each noodle up, forming tight twirls, and place them seam-side down into a greased baking dish.
Pour a layer of white sauce over the bottom of your greased baking dish. Place the twirls closely together and drizzle the remaining white sauce over the top.
Top the twirls with shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring an even spread.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Let the twirls cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with extra chopped basil before serving.
