Instructions
Season the chicken tenders with salt and Cajun seasoning to taste. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil to medium high and cook the chicken until full cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent.
slice the mushrooms and add them to the onions.
Once the mushroom has cooked for about 5 minutes, add in the flour stir until combined. Then add in the Marsala wine and heavy cream.
After the cooked chicken has cooled, dice it up into small pieces and add it to the mushrooms. Then add in the red pepper flakes, Parmesan, and salt. Stir until combined and set aside.
In a saucepan, heat butter and flour over medium heat.
Slowly add the heavy cream, milk, Marsala wine, and white pepper.
Once the sauce has heated, add in the Parmesan cheese.
Cook the lasagna pasta according to the package, making sure to add a generous amount of olive oil to the pasta water to prevent the pasta from sticking to each other.
Using tongs, remove the lasagna from the pot and lay onto sheets of paper towel.
Each piece of lasagna should be 5x7 inches. Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of the chicken and mushroom mixture into each piece of lasagna. Then roll tightly and compress the filling from each opening using your fingers. I do this to make sure the filing is well packed inside, and won't fall out.

Hi Dina this sounds wonderful and trying it tonight. Quick question.. If I make my own pasta and use it while fresh and pliable, would I need to boil it before stuffing w the chicken mixture? I am thinking it could be stuffed, rolled, and baked in its fresh form. Since I'm not sure I'd love to hear your thoughts. Many thanks in advance..
oops. alfredo sauce, not fetticine
hey, i live in mexico and some ingredients are not available in my town. no marsala.
i use prepackaged canneloni shells and a fetticine white sauce that works pretty well. Italian food is one of favs. thanks for tips.
