How to Make Barbecue Chicken Roll Ups

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using regular lasagna noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. While noodles are cooking (or if using no-boil noodles), prepare the chicken filling. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken and bell pepper strips.
  4. Lay cooled lasagna noodles flat on a clean surface.
  5. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the lasagna noodles, placing it in a line down the center of each noodle.
  6. Sprinkle approximately 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese over the chicken mixture on each noodle.
  7. Tightly roll up each noodle, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.
  8. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  9. Spread 1 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.
  10. Arrange the chicken roll-ups in the prepared dish.
  11. Pour the remaining barbecue sauce over the roll-ups.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the roll-ups.
  13. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the roll-ups are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. For a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  15. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
