Chicken Lasagna Roll Up - Recipes

Chicken Lasagna Roll Up


I got lost in Pinterest and needed some dishes to bring to a New Year's Eve party. This looked really good! I usually don't like to make something for the first time that I am bringing to a party but it didn't sound like I could go wrong on this one. The original recipe is from iVillage.com. I adapted it but VERY little alterations! Your family will beg for this!

1 pkg Gluten Free Lasagne Noodles (I used a 10oz Container of Tinkyada Brown Rice Lasagna Pasta-I cooked these per package instructions)
3 cups cooked chicken (I was making this to bring to a New Year's party so I got a Rotisserie Chicken from  the deli at the grocery store -checked the ingredients list first)
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese (if you prefer more, add it)
1/4 cup Milk
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups Spaghetti Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, cheeses, milk and pepper.
In a 9X13 dish, spread Spaghetti Sauce in a thin layer on the bottom of the dish.
Spread 1/2 cup mixture on each lasagna noodle; roll up in a jelly roll fashion. Don't worry if the noodles tear, piece them back together and it won't be a problem. Place the seam where it touches the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the dish. Line the dish with the lasagna rolls. Top with remaining spaghetti sauce. Cover with foil (spray foil with non stick spray) and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes or until hot. Top with additional parmesan cheese before serving.

Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff Recipe

I was spending way too much time on Pinterest (of course)... I may be the few that get inspired by recipes on Pinterest, but it's an obsession! I read magazines with recipes, cookbooks, etc. for fun! I read one recipe on Pinterest that seemed to be re-pinned over and over again and decided to make it gluten free easy style.

This is one meal I didn't take photos off - mostly because I was rushing out the door to a new exercise class and realized it was pretty much gone. WOW! The kids loved it! My oldest said, "This is the best beef I have ever had!" I always find humor in the comments that include "the best I ever had". I think it is a very overused idiom my children have become accustomed to. Nonetheless, it expressed to me that this one was a keeper! I can't believe how easy it is!

The recipe...
2.5lbs of Stew Meat
2 cans of Campbell's French Onion Soup
4 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
8oz Cream Cheese (I used 1/3 less fat Cream Cheese)

Optional ingredients:
Hot Paprika (to your taste)
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Put the first 3 ingredients into the slow cooker and add your optional ingredients as you prefer. (I would add salt and pepper at the end after tasting - the soup is salty)
Stir all together.
Cook on low for 8 hours.
Add in cream cheese right before serving - turn slow cooker to high for about 15-20 minutes while cream cheese melts. Stir together until cream cheese is blended in. Serve over any noodle you prefer, rice or mashed potatoes.

The house smelled like roast. I really feel like some glazed carrots would have been amazing with this. A side salad would be nice as well.

I hope you try it out - it's easy and oh so good!
