Review: Chicken Cannelloni
I made the Macaroni Grill Chicken Cannelloni for dinner tonight. It was probably the best copycat recipe I've ever tried. This is one of my favorite things to order at MG and this recipe tasted EXACTLY like it.
It was easy, but did take awhile to put together, so it's one I'll probably save for weekends when there is someone else around to watch the toddler. ;)
I served it with warm bread and seasoned olive oil to dip it in. (just like MG!) :) Oh, and it got rave reviews from the husband!
If you are looking to lighten this recipe up a little bit (as I might next time), my thoughts were to maybe serve it with whole wheat penne instead of stuffed into the lasagna noodles.(since I have yet to see whole wheat lasagna anywhere) I DID use the part-skim ricotta (but could use low-fat next time) and the low-fat mozzerella. Not sure how to get around the fat in the alfredo sauce. Any suggestions?
