Creamy white chicken lasagna roll ups – an instant family favorite!
Four days after we got married my husband and I took off for Schaumburg Illinois for a business trip. We were there for two weeks and over the weekend in between, we stayed in a hotel right smack dab in the middle of Chicago. It was February. You know how they call Chicago the windy city? That wind chill factor in the middle of wintertime is brutal. The first night in town we planned on walking 8 or 10 blocks to a pizza place that was supposed to be incredibly yummy. By the time we got there, our faces were frozen, I swear to you I couldn’t even move my lips. I’ve never been so cold in my life. On top of that we were starving and dying for some greasy, ooey gooey cheesy pizza.
So naturally there would be an hour and 15 minute wait with a line out the door.
We debated for a minute but ultimately decided we needed food in our ice-cold bellies pronto and a 75 minute wait in negative 2 degree weather was not going to happen. We ended up ducking into a fancy-pants Italian restaurant called Rosebud on Rush, desperate for some carbs and some separation from the crazy-cold temperatures outside. We ordered two plates of food. I can’t remember what my husband ordered but I ordered lasagna and I swear to you it was the size of a football field. Seriously, so. BIG. You guys. I don’t even like lasagna.
Don’t ask me why I ordered lasagna, I’ve never enjoyed it. Or rather I’ve never enjoyed traditional red-sauce-lasagna. It’s not my thing. But my mother in law makes a mean white chicken lasagna I’m crazy about and this recipe is a little bit of a spin-off from that deliciousness.
I love these roll ups because they are like personalized little lasagnas. Actually they aren’t that little, one of them fills me up, but they’re individual-sized and that’s perfect for serving up dinner to kids and adults. My favorite part is definitely the filling. It’s so creamy and saucy and cheesy and wonderful. My husband said this dish is one of his top-5 favorite ever Creme de la Crumb recipes. That is sayin’ something since I don’t share a single recipe my husband give his official taste-tester stamp of approval. These creamy white chicken lasagna roll ups are a definitely a must-make so put it on your list -they’ll be an instant favorite for your family too!

Hi Tiffany,
Do you think bechamel could be substituted for the alfredo?
Or would it not turn out as well? Thank you.
This recipe hasn’t been tested with béchamel so I cannot say for sure but it should be fine as long as you’re okay with the different texture and flavor the béchamel would give you.
Can you freeze the chicken lasagna roll ups?
Yes! I would suggest following the directions up until the lasagna is “rolled up”. Then I would freeze them just like that, without sauce and keep the sauce in the fridge until the day-of or make it the day before or day of if planning to have these frozen for a while. When you’re ready to serve them, just pop them into the oven with the sauce for maybe 25-30 minutes or until heated through. 🙂
What size pan did you use?
9×13 🙂
