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.
