Chicken Lasagna Roll-Ups (Freeze This Casserole for Busy Weeknights)
This chicken lasagna roll-up casserole is my new fave weeknight meal!
Rolled lasagna noodles stuffed with shredded chicken and cheese is already a win, but when you pour the homemade and rich sauce over the lasagna rolls… OH MY! 😋 It’s such great onlinefort food.
Hip Tips –
- This is an easy casserole to make and freeze for busy weeknights.
- I went to the spicy side when creating this recipe (you can even add a can of green chilies if you like it really hot!), but if you’re not a fan of spice, just omit the peppers and add spinach, mushrooms, or any other veggies you love. So YUM!
- You can use a rotisserie chicken to cut your time in half. I always make a crock-pot full of chicken at the beginning of the week, and then use it throughout the week to make different meals. It’s definitely a big time-saver on busy weeknights!
The homemade sauce really takes this casserole dish to the next level.
Note that this dish will easily feed a family of 4, but if you have a crowd onlineing over, you might want to make TWO pans because I’m telling you – this will knock their socks off!

Ingredients
- Cooked lasagna noodles
- 3 cups shredded chicken
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium diced onion
- 1/2 red pepper, diced
- 2 jalapeños, diced
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese
Directions
1
Cook lasagna noodles as directed. As the noodles are cooking, get a 9x13 casserole dish out that will fit 12 lasagna rolls, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2
In a large saucepan, add butter, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and jalapenos. Saute over medium heat until veggies are tender (about 5 minutes).
3
Add in flour, and whisk for 2 minutes. This will help to get the flour taste out. Slowly add in chicken broth and let simmer for 5 minutes. Turn heat to low, and add heavy cream whisking for 2 minutes. Add in 1 cup of mozzarella cheese which will really thicken the sauce, and then remove from heat.
4
Lay out lasagna noodles and spread shredded chicken and cheese over them. Roll up each lasagna noodle and place in a casserole dish. Once all 12 noodles are rolled up and placed in the dish, pour homemade cream sauce over the noodles and top with remaining cheese.
5
Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and serve.
Enjoy!
