Yes, these Creamy Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups are every bit as delicious as what you are currently imagining.

Seriously. Cheese, Chicken, Broccoli, and More Cheese.

I hope everyone’s holiday season has been treating them amazing! I know mine has! So far, we’ve had our annual baking day with all the ladies in my family, which is probably one of my favorite holiday activities to partake in. And then, I just really appreciate all the extra time with family members, the no-shame binging of Christmas music, and obviously the food.

Like Pasta?! Check out these Ground Turkey Stuffed Shells!

Seriously, when it comes to Christmas Eve dinner, I do not mess around.

Typically our spread consists of some kind of delicious pasta. Last year, it was an amazing Lobster Mac n Cheese that will go down in the books.  This year, it is going to be Creamy Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups. And you know what? They are the best thing you didn’t know you were missing in your life. And unlike traditional lasagna, Creamy Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups are super easy to portion out. No cutting required!

Stuffed inside of these little rolls of goodness, I used a ground spicy Italian chicken. This was then mixed with ricotta and cut up broccoli florets.  To top it all off, these Creamy Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups were smothered in a creamy cheese sauce and baked to perfection.

 Now as you would expect from any dish related to Lasagna, it wasn’t the prettiest. But looks can be deceiving and were forgiven after taking one bite of this flavor explosion.

Did you ever wonder why when you were younger the easiest way to eat your broccoli was smothered in cheese?

Exactly, I didn’t either. The point is your kids are going to love these Lasagna roll ups just as much as you… AND you are sneaking in veggies. So really it is a win-win.

 Now I know some of you might be thinking, rolled lasagna has got to be a hard thing to do! And guess what, it is so easy! I included some pictures to show the process. And the process is actually kind of fun.

So basically, whip this Creamy Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups next week for your Christmas Eve Dinner and it is sure to be a favorite!
