Chicken & Cheese Lasagna Roll Up

Monday night I tried a new recipe I found through Pintrest. Needless to say, my family didn't care for it. I ended up throwing most of it away. It lacked flavor, so if I decide to make it again I will be tweaking the recipe more than I did this time. This recipe is from iVillage 

It seemed simple enough and sounded good on paper but it wasn't that great.

This is the finished product


This is the cheese and chicken mixture for the middle of the roll ups.


 It smelled good too.



 
Here's the recipe if you would like to try. I am open to suggestions on how to "spice" it up.



Chicken and Cheese Lasagna Roll-Ups
Adapted from: iVillage

Ingredients
3 cups chopped chicken (I used 3 chicken breasts)
1 cup Ricotta cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Milk
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
2 cups spaghetti sauce

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375ยบ F
2. In medium bowl, combine chicken, cheeses, milk and pepper.
3. In a 13x9-inch baking dish, spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce.
4. Spread 1/2 cup mixture on each lasagna noodle; roll.
5. Arrange lasagna rolls, seam side down in sauce.
6. Top with remaining spaghetti sauce.
7. Cover with aluminum foil.
8. Bake for 30 minutes or until hot.
9. Serve, if desired, with additional Parmesan cheese.


Note:
One thing I will do different is add more sauce on top of the rolls. I think that will add more flavor to it.
Please if anyone has any suggestions I could really use them!!

Pepperoni & cheese rolls

Today Cordell, David, & I went to Epcot. Of course, in our rush to leave the house I forgot to take out the chicken for dinner. So when we came home I had to think of something for us to eat. So I came up with these. (I didn't take pictures while I made them because I didn't think I was going to post about it)

But after I made them and Cordell had 4 of them he told me I better eat otherwise he'll eat them all. So I grabbed 2, and he sneaked behind me and grabbed the other 2. I only made 8, I should have made more. They were that good. So here's the recipe:

Pepperoni & Cheese rolls

2 cans of crescent rolls
8 things of string cheese
Pepperoni
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 350.

Cut the string cheese in half. Roll the string cheese and pepperoni up in the crescent rolls. Seal around the ends to keep all the gooey cheesy goodness inside. Place on a greased cookie sheet.

Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush or spoon mixture on the rolls.

Place rolls in the oven for about 13-16 mins until light golden brown.

I hope you enjoy!!!
