Print Recipe

Creamy Chicken Pesto Lasagna Roll Ups are a delicious twist on traditional lasagna, featuring tender chicken, rich pesto sauce, and creamy cheese rolled into lasagna noodles and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 10 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup prepared basil pesto
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (for topping)
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, pesto, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto each noodle and roll up tightly.
  5. Pour half of the heavy cream into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Place roll ups seam-side down in the dish.
  7. Pour remaining cream over the roll ups and top with remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
  • Substitute cottage cheese for ricotta if preferred.
