Cooking Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups is a comforting evening dish. Lasagna noodles are folded up with tender chicken, broccoli, and cheese, then baked in a handmade cream sauce.
This recipe, which serves as a full supper, is a family favourite!
Rather than arranging the components in a pan, a lasagna roll up is produced by wrapping all of the classic lasagna ingredients in pasta.

Ingredients For chicken lasagna roll-ups:
- 12 cooked and cooled lasagna noodles
- 4 cups cooked chicken
- 3 cups cooked and cooled broccoli
- 2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese mixture
- 2 cups cottage cheese or ricotta
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Sauce for Recipe:
- ¼ cup butter
- One diced onion
- Two minced garlic cloves
- One-and-a-half cups flour,
- Two cups chicken broth, one and a half cups milk,
- Four ounces cream cheese
- One cup shredded mozzarella
- One and a half cups Parmesan
- One teaspoon dried basil
- One and a half teaspoons chopped oregano
Instructions For chicken lasagna roll-ups:
- Turn the oven on to 350°F.
- Mix the ingredients for the cheese mixture and reserve.
Sauce:
- Heat the butter in a medium saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, or until soft. Cook for one to two minutes after adding flour.
- Gradually add the milk and broth, whisking after each addition. It will start out thick but thin out. After adding all of the liquid, whisk in the melted cream cheese. Simmer for one minute.
- Take off the heat and mix in the dried basil, oregano, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
Putting together:
- Fill a 9×13 pan with one cup of the sauce mixture.
Arrange the noodles. - Spoon chicken, broccoli, and cheese mixture over noodles. Top each with 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese.
- Roll noodles and place seam down in the pan. Top with the remaining sauce.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool 15 minutes before serving.
Notes If you’d like, you can use ricotta instead of cottage cheese.
You can add broccoli or any other steamed vegetable, such as carrots or asparagus, in place of it.
Although we like the taste of the homemade sauce, you can use one or two jars of Alfredo sauce to speed up preparation.
