# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

06 - Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/6 of the chicken mixture down the center. Roll up tightly and position seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
07 - Pour remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over all filled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
08 - Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
09 - Remove foil and continue baking for 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
