Ingredients

12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
1-1/2 lb. lean ground chicken
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 cans (15 oz. each) tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/3 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, divided

Steps:

Cook noodles as directed on package, omitting salt.
Meanwhile, cook chicken and onions in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray until chicken is done, stirring frequently; drain. Return chicken mixture to skillet; stir in garlic powder. Mix tomato sauce and pepper until blended. Add 1 cup to chicken mixture along with the Parmesan, eggs and half the mozzarella; mix well.
Heat oven to 350ºF. Spoon half of the remaining tomato sauce mixture evenly into 12 muffin pan cups. Drain noodles. Spread 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto each noodle; top with 1 Tbsp. of the remaining mozzarella. Roll up; secure with wooden toothpicks, if desired. Place, spiral sides up, in muffin cups; drizzle with remaining sauce. Cover.
Bake 25 min. or until heated through. Top with remaining mozzarella; bake, uncovered, 5 min. or until melted. Discard toothpicks before serving.
