How to make Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups (step by step):

Different ways to change up this recipe:
- Use fresh parsley for more flavor. Basil is also a fantastic herb to use in this recipe. It pairs well with the tangy tomato sauce and the melted mozzarella.
- Switch up the meat from chicken to lean ground turkey or extra lean ground beef for more of a lasagna flavor. You could even mix in a bit of fat free ricotta cheese if you want to go for a traditional lasagna roll up that is still low in points.
- Use fat free or light Alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce for a chicken Alfredo version.
Tips and Tricks for Making Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups:
- I cook chicken breasts in a crock pot in a little broth on high for about 3 hours. It shreds perfectly and I can keep it in the fridge to use in recipes like this all week long.
- Store these roll ups in the fridge for up to seven days. They will freeze well.

Could I use ground turkey in place of chicken
Sure
Hi there! If I plan on freezing a few rolls, do you recommend I freezer before baking or after? Thanks!
Hi, you could do either or to be honest, so whichever works best for your time 🙂
