Darlene Markel takes pasta to new heights with this clever creation. She rolls a cheesy mixture of chicken and broccoli into lasagna noodles, making enough for two dinners. "It's nice to have a pan of these roll-ups in the freezer for unexpected company," says the Salem, Oregon cook.

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3 cups diced cooked chicken

This was better than I had anticipated, based on my tasting of the filling as I was assembling it. As others said, this took a LONG time to make. And it does need the optional salt. I really like the concept and would like to use it with a better filling. The sauce was good though.

It was good, but it took too long to prepare. Probably because I used fresh broccoli (and steamed it) and fresh bread crumbs (that I dried).

You may be a bit confused why I gave this 4 stars and then say I won't make it again. The taste was 4 stars - good, BUT the prep time of 20 minutes is soooooo misleading. Luckily I am not a novice cook and I thoroughly looked at this recipe before I started it. The prep time of 20 minutes (which is still too short) is after the chicken is cooked and cut up AND after the noodles are cooked and drained. Total prep time with these items was a little over an hour. Just FYI. The only reason this recipe is worth all of this is it makes 2 dinners!

I would try this again, as I didn't have problems rolling the lasagne, but it did seem a bit dry, so I'd like to experiment by not adding as many bread crumbs, may only 1/4 c. instead of 3/4 c., and by adding some cream cheese to the sauce. Also, a cream sauce poured over the whole thing after baking would help. I liked the whole concept, just needs some "sauce"!

This was hard to roll, I will make it again with cream of mushroom and as a lasagna not the roll.

I agree that this was WAY too much work for such a flavorless, dull, disappointing meal.

This turned out flavorless and a little dry. If you are going to make it, definitely add the salt, although it is optional. Even with the salt, not that good.

Way too much work for very little taste would never make again or pass on recipe
