Different ways to change up this recipe:Ā
- 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.Ā
- 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.Ā
- Use fat free or light Alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce for a chicken Alfredo version.Ā
Tips and Tricks for Making Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups:Ā
- 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.Ā

Could this be frozen? Would I cook it in the oven and then freeze it? The recipe looks awesome but it's only my husband and I eating it š
Drizzle

Amy Bickmore
Which brand of sauce did you use? I am in Ontario, so I'm always curious about products
Drizzle
Hi Amy, I usually buy PC blue menu š
Beverly
My daughter LOVES Chicken Parmesan and I think we both will enjoy these...they look delicious!! Could you post a pic of the pasta sauce jar next time you make these? I'm not familiar with PC blue menu. I'm in North Carolina. What does the "PC" stand for...and do you think I can find that brand here, or could you suggest a brand that we may have since you also get to shop in the states? I just happened to stumble across your Instagram account yesterday, and I'm hooked!! I spent HOURS scrolling through recipe after recipe, reading your blogs, the recipe, and the reviews!!! I love your blog, your posts, recipes, and your pics!! Sure wish I had found you sooner!! You are doing a FABULOUS job, and are very inspiring!!! I love how you post pics of each step of a recipe...and give us all the info we need! I now have you "bookmarked" and I hope I NEVER miss a single post of yours! Keep up the great work!! I know your sites are helpful to many, many people...just as they will be for me!!! Thanks a million! I'm so EXCITED and CAN'T WAIT to start trying your recipes!! ????????????????????????

Hi Beverly, thank you so much for all your kind words, I am happy you found me too! š PC is actually a Canadian brand, but I am sure there is some form of "light" or "low fat" pasta sauce you can find in the U.S, even if not, pasta sauce is not too high in points and won't make a huge difference to this recipe, this chicken parm rolls recipe is a big hit in my house š I hope you both enjoy it and many more recipes.. If you have facebook look for me on there ("drizzlemeskinny") I post several recipes from my blog daily š Have a great day!

Beverly I too live in N.C. and have found Walmart store brand to be a pretty tasty sauce as well as brand name of Rao. Hope this helps.

I wonder how these would be if i prepared them but froze them before cooking them?
Drizzle
Hi Kayla, I think these would freeze fine uncooked and then cook them up when ready, you could cook them and then freeze as well.. Hope you enjoy them!
