Ingredients

🍗 2 chicken breasts, cut into pieces
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🌶 1 teaspoon black pepper
🍝 12 lasagna pasta strips
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🥬 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
🧀 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
🧀 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
🧈 2 tablespoons butter
🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🌿 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
🍶 1 tablespoon olive oil
🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

2- Cook Pasta:

Cook the lasagna pasta strips according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.

3- Prepare the Cream Sauce:

In the same frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add spinach to the pan and cook until wilted.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.

4- Assemble the Rollups:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spoon a generous amount of the cream sauce onto each lasagna strip.
Top with a piece of cooked chicken and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Carefully roll each strip and place seam-side down in a baking dish that has a layer of cream sauce at the bottom to prevent sticking.

5- Bake:

Pour the remaining cream sauce over the rollups and sprinkle the top with more mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

6- Serve:

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with lemon juice before serving.
