This post has been updated with fresh images and more information for the reader – June 2023.

Growing up lasagna was a meal that was reserved for Sunday dinner because my dad would take store-bought sauce, doctor it up, and let it simmer for a couple of hours before boiling the lasagna noodles; then assemble the dish and baking for an hour. Well worth all of that labor of love! So is the time it takes to make these Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups!

Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups are filled with a creamy cheese filling similar to that in a traditional lasagna and instead of using cooked ground beef, I’ve used cooked shredded chicken with the cheese filling. Once I “rolled up” the lasagna noodles, I covered them with my favorite marinara sauce and baked. The entire family loved this recipe and asks for it on a regular basis.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • A delicious variation of the classic lasagna.
  • Easy to make and assemble
  • Can be made ahead of time and then bake when ready.

Chicken Lasagna Rolls

Chicken lasagna rolls for me are the easy way to change up the classic recipe when not only time is limited but when we want something different. Chicken is a staple in our dinner menus and quite frankly, can get old to make the same ways. Changing it up with this twist on a lasagna recipe deliciously gives us a new meal to enjoy.

The cheese filling is comprised of feta, ricotta, and Parmesan cheeses along with a little mind for a binder. The shredded chicken can be freshly cooked or leftover from another meal. I’ve also used a rotisserie chicken from the deli area of the grocery store.

For the marinara sauce, I just doctor up our favorite jar of sauce, or sometimes I will go all out if I have time and simmer a homemade marinara for this recipe. Then bake and enjoy! Your whole family will love it!

Can I use the oven ready lasagna noodles for this recipe?

No, the oven-ready lasagna noodles will not work for this recipe since we are cooking the noodles al dente then placing the filling on them and rolling them up to bake.

Can I freeze lasagna roll ups?

Yes, you can easily freeze chicken lasagna roll-ups. Two ways to freeze this recipe.

  1. Prepare as directed in the directions for the recipe. Then line a baking sheet with wax paper, and place each roll up on the baking sheet with a bit of space between them. Flash freeze until frozen, then place lasagna rolls in a freezer-safe and airtight container. To bake, remove from freezer, thaw, and then place in a baking dish, cover with sauce, cover with foil, and bake in a 350-degree oven until hot.
  2. Prepare and bake as directed in the recipe. Cool completely and wrap rolls in aluminum foil and then in a freezer-safe container. To reheat, thaw, and microwave till hot or heat in a 350-degree oven until hot.

    Good Lord. Those look so delicious. I swear that putting pictures on your blog is the perfect idea because it whets the appetite immediately. I can’t wait to try this one too. Have you made it with other meat besides chicken?
