How to make Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups? (A Comfort weeknight meal)

A comforting weeknight dish is chicken lasagna roll ups. Rolls of lasagna noodles are filled with cheese, broccoli, and tender chicken before being baked in a handmade cream sauce.

This recipe is a family favorite because it offers a full dinner in one!

How do Lasagna Roll-Ups work?

We adore fresh spins on traditional lasagna!

Instead of putting the usual lasagna ingredients in a pan, a lasagna roll-up is created by rolling the spaghetti with all of the ingredients.

In this instance, we’ve constructed rolls stuffed with chicken and vegetables using the same components as our famous chicken lasagna.

CHEESE Ricotta works if you’d prefer, but our recipe lightens it up by using a cottage cheese blend.

VEGETABLES Chicken and broccoli are a traditional comfort meal pairing, but any steamed vegetable, such as carrots or asparagus, will do.

SAUCE This dish calls for a rich homemade sauce. It is tasty and rich while also being a little lighter than a typical alfredo sauce. Although I like the flavor of the homemade sauce, you can use a few jars of alfredo sauce to speed up preparation.

Making Chicken Lasagna Roll-Ups: A Recipe

There are a few steps in preparing chicken lasagna roll-ups, but the outcome is so delectable that it’s worth the extra work!

1. Noodles should be cooked and kept aside. Mix the cheese mixture, then reserve.
2. Make the cream sauce as directed in the recipe below, then spoon some of it into the bottom of the casserole.
3. Noodles should be spread out with cheese, broccoli, and chicken on each one. Each packed noodle is rolled up and placed seam-side down on a plate.
4. Add the leftover sauce on top of the rolls, then bake them.
5. Bake with the cover off, cheese on top, until bubbling.

Serving suggestions

Serve with grilled lemon parmesan asparagus on the side, our great homemade garlic bread, a fresh and tangy Caprese salad, and a delightful simple cheesecake for dessert.

Leftovers

• Creamy chicken roll-ups can be stored in the fridge for up to three days in a closed container. The entire casserole or individual servings can be reheated in the oven or microwave. Add more cheese, then broil the roll-ups until the cheese is bubbling and browned.
• Roll-ups of cooked and cooled lasagna can be frozen for up to two months. Use one of the ways mentioned above to thaw and reheat.
