Ingredients

8 lasagna noodles
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Pinwheels: Spread a generous amount of the chicken filling over each noodle. Roll the noodles tightly from one end to the other to form pinwheels.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pinwheels seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Top with additional marinara sauce and cheese if desired. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
