Marry Me Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups
Description
“Marry Me” Chicken recipes—so named because they are reportedly delicious enough to elicit a marriage proposal—have exploded on social media. The original recipe is very similar to my Tuscan Chicken and features tender chicken tossed in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. Today’s easy Marry Me Chicken Lasagna Roll-Ups turn those flavors into a wholesome weeknight pasta!
Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles regular, NOT oven ready
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped fresh basil divided
- 1 16-ounce container low-fat cottage cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 3 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- ½ cup chopped fresh basil
Directions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350°F. Prepare lasagna noodles to al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and lay out to dry on a sheet of parchment paper set on top of a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, place the chicken, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella, the sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of the basil.
- In a blender (I used a Nutribullet) combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan, milk, and garlic. Blend until smooth. Pour half of the mixture over the chicken. Stir to combine.
- Coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, then spread a thin layer of the remaining cottage cheese sauce on the bottom.
- Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the 9 noodles, arranging it down the center of each. Roll, then transfer them to the prepared baking dish with the seam-side down. Fit them snugly into 3 rows of 3.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the Mozzarella. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Let cool a few minutes. Sprinkle the fresh basil over the top and serve.
