Creamy Pesto Sauce Chicken Lasagna Rollups with Garlic Basil Sauce
These Creamy Pesto Chicken Lasagna Rollups look so fancy, but they are easy to make!
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1 box of Lasagna Noodles
- 1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1/2 cup Pesto Sauce
- 2-3 Chicken Breasts cooked and shredded (great with leftover chicken)
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup basil chopped
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot to a rapid bowl, add 1 teaspoon of salt and the lasagna noodles. Cook until al dente - usually about 7-8 minutes.
- In a saucepan combine the can of cream of chicken soup and the pesto sauce. Stir until it's warmed.
- Once noodles are cooked, drain and lay on a flat surface (I put aluminum foil underneath). Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the pesto sauce on each noodle and spread over the noodle. Sprinkle the cooked chicken on top.
- Starting at one end of the noodle, roll up the lasagna noodle. Place seam down in a baking dish that you've poured the remainder of the pesto sauce into. Repeat until all the noodles are rolled up.
- In another saucepan melted your butter. Add the minced garlic and the flour. Cook over medium/low heat for about a minute while continually stirring. It will be a thick / paste like substance.
- Slowly pour in the milk, continuing to stir. Add the chopped basil, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
- Let it simmer on low for a couple minutes, stirring.
- Pour the Garlic / Basil sauce on top of the Pesto rollups. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
I hope you and your family love this Pesto Chicken Lasagna Rollup as much as we do.
Easy and delicious week night recipe. My husband even said it was in his top 5 favorite.
Thanks for the great recipe!
One of our favorite recipes. I always double the recipe for the cream sauce so the leftovers are not dry. Soooo yummy! My kids love it as well.
Thanks for the tip on doubling the sauce!
Looks delicious! Can I freeze this?
The directions were a bit confusing. I combined the soup and pesto sauce but the directions don’t say where to use it? Is it what you’re calling pesto sauce in direction #3? Is it the soup pesto mixture or just pesto? Not sure how it will turn out as I just used more pesto, not the soup pesto in the chicken roll up. Dumped both sauces on top! We’ll see?!
This sounds delicious! I am definitely making this soon.
How many people does this recipe serve?

This looks delicous. In the ingredient list it says ” 1/2 pesto sauce”. Do you mean 1/2 a oup?
Thank you.
Yes
On the pictures you show 2 different things. Do you use 10 or 8 noodles?
Dominique you use a full box of lasagna noodles (as in the recipe) – I believe there’s 12 noodles in the box. Depending on the size of your pan you may need to use more than one.
My kind of dinner for sure!!! https://cookiedoughandovenmitt.com/easy-tiramisu/
