Southern Fried Chicken Lasagna Rolls
That’s a bold and delicious combo — Southern Fried Chicken Lasagna Rolls mix the comfort of crispy fried chicken with the richness of cheesy lasagna.
Ingredients:
For the Fried Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into tenders or thin strips)
1 cup of milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Olive oil for frying
For the Lasagna Rolls:
8 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups marinara or Alfredo sauce (your choice — or a mix!)
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Marinate chicken:
Soak chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for max tenderness).
2. Cook lasagna noodles:
Boil noodles until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper.
3. Mix cheese filling:
In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Bread and fry chicken:
In a shallow bowl, mix flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge chicken in flour mixture and fry in hot oil (350°F / 175°C) until golden and cooked through (about 3–4 mins per side). Drain on paper towels.
5. Assemble rolls:
Spread 2–3 tablespoons of cheese mixture onto each noodle. Place a piece of fried chicken on top and roll tightly.
6. Bake:
Spoon sauce into a greased baking dish. Place rolls seam side down. Top with more sauce and cheese if desired.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
