Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups are a cozy weeknight meal. Tender chicken, broccoli and cheese are rolled in lasagna noodles and baked in a homemade cream sauce.
A complete meal in one dish, this is a family favorite!
What are Lasagna Roll-Ups?
We love new takes on a classic lasagna!
A lasagna roll up is made by rolling all of the traditional lasagna ingredients in pasta instead of layering them in a pan.
In this case, we’ve taken the ingredients in our favorite chicken lasagna and created rolls filled with chicken and veggies.
Ingredients
CHEESE Our recipe lightens it up by using a cottage cheese mixture but ricotta works if you’d prefer.
VEGGIES Chicken and Broccoli is the classic comfort food combination but any steamed veggie from carrots to asparagus will work.
SAUCE This recipe uses a creamy homemade sauce. It’s rich and delicious while still being a bit lighter than a traditional alfredo sauce. While I prefer the flavor of the homemade sauce, to make prep quicker, you can substitute a jar or two of alfredo sauce.
How to Make Chicken Lasagna Roll-Ups
Chicken lasagna roll-ups have a few steps involved, but the result is so luscious it’s worth the extra effort of making rollups!
- Cook noodles, set aside. Combine cheese mixture, set aside.
- Make the cream sauce per recipe below and spread some in the bottom of a casserole dish.
- Lay out noodles & spread each one with cheese, broccoli, & chicken. Roll up each filled noodle & lay, seam side down in a dish.
- Top the rolls with remaining sauce, cover & bake.
- Uncover, sprinkle with cheese and bake until bubbly.
What to Serve with Lasagna Roll-Ups
Serve with our tasty homemade garlic bread, a bright and tangy Caprese salad, a side of grilled lemon parmesan asparagus, and a delicious easy cheesecake for dessert!
Leftovers
- Keep creamy chicken roll-ups in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the entire casserole in the oven or individual portions in the microwave. Add extra cheese and place the roll-ups under the broiler until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
- Cooked and cooled lasagna roll-ups can be frozen up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat using one of the methods above.

Good Afternoon. I plan on making this recipe this weekend and wanted to know if I chopped 3 cups of spinach in place of the broccoli is that enough spinach since I know spinach tends to shrink up when you cook it? Thank you so much as always your recipes are so delicious and amazing!!!
Hi Stephanie, I would maybe use a bit more spinach since it does shrink quite a bit. But you can add as little or as much as you want.
This looks so yummy however I wanted to know if I could use no boil noodles cooking them slightly so that I can roll them. If so how long should I bake them? Thank you so very much.
Stephanie
Hi Stephanie, I would still bake them following the recipe instructions since we use regular lasagna noodles that have been cooked and cooled in this recipe.
I made this using a Costco rotisserie chicken, actually two chickens! what a delicious recipe. Great for guests!
Glad you liked this recipe, Maggie! Thanks for leaving a comment :)
I used eggplant that I sliced thin instead of the pasta. Turned out great!
Sounds delicious, thanks for sharing Jean!
Excellent, i also put minced garlic and onion in the cheese mixture an substituted jar alfredo sauce for the homemade sauce. Turned out wonderful!
Delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I have made this many times, following the recipe. My friends and family love it! It’s one of my favorites.
Can these roll ups be frozzen
Hey Gail, yes, they can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Made this recipe. I used store bought alfredo sauce. Added extra chicken and broccoli under the rolls. Paired with a salad… I have gestational diabetes and my numbers were GOOD the three times we had them (left overs) one roll was more than enough with the extra meat and broccoli. They were very good, and warmed up well in a smaller pan in oven for left overs.
what degree do u set the oven on? we did the chicken lasagne roll ups
The oven should be set to 350°F.
Looks really good. Can you leave the cottage cheese out?
I have only tried the recipe as written. I would think that you could replace the cottage cheese with ricotta cheese.
What degree for the oven?
These can be baked at 375 degrees.
These were a hit last night! I made a half recipe and we had lunch-size leftovers for later in the week. (there’s only hubby and me) Will be making this again.
I’m glad your husband loved it!
Love this,it’s another way for me to add vegetables to my kids diet in a new way. Thanks for the recipe :-)
Those look really delicious! I’m trying to cut out canned soups, so will try to create my own sauce to replace them! Thanks for the recipe!
This sounds so delicious, I love a creamy comfort food type dish. Thanks for sharing at Inspire Us Thursday on Organized 31.
A great presentation for this delicious dish! Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipe with Full Plate Thursday.
Have a great weekend!
