Creamy Chicken Lasagna is super simple to make. It truly takes about 10 minutes to make the creamy chicken sauce, while the noodles are cooking. For an even more time saving method, just buy Rotisserie Chicken or use leftover chicken. This lasagna recipe freezes well, and is a great crowd pleaser!

Chicken Lasagna Recipe is a Make Ahead Meal!

This chicken lasagna recipe can be made ahead and either refrigerated or frozen until needed. This is another delicious meal that is great to have in the freezer for company coming or busy moments. Sometimes, I’ll make up a few lasagnas in dollar store disposable pans just to have them on hand for hectic days. Just heat this simple and creamy chicken lasagna up, make some garlic bread and a salad and you have a satisfying meal fit for royalty!

Why Make Chicken Lasagna??

The reason I came up with this easy lasagna recipe was because a friend told me about a really good chicken lasagna she makes. (I have yet to taste her version of chicken lasagna) In the meantime, my sister in law makes a delicious mushroomy chicken lasagna recipe. This inspired me to try making chicken lasagna. I essentially took ingredients which I thought would go well together and designed this lasagna recipe. The mushrooms are chopped tiny so that any children who don’t like mushrooms will eat this meal. They won’t know what the tiny brown specks are and will happily gobble up their Creamy Chicken Lasagna!

History of Lasagna Noodles

Lasagna pasta is possibly one of the oldest types of pasta. It originated in Italy during the middle ages. It’s no wonder that this delicious pasta dish is still so popular today! An interesting fact I found out recently is that Lasagne is the plural form of Lasagna. I always wondered why there were two ways to spell it. Now I know Lasagna is only one sheet of pasta!

To Freeze Chicken Lasagna

To freeze chicken lasagna, follow all instructions except the baking. Let it completely cool before wrapping, then first place foil on the top, and then cover well with plastic wrap, making sure it is sealed. The lasagna recipe will keep in the freezer for up to 4 months. For cooking from frozen, follow the instructions below for reheating.😊

You can also freeze the chicken lasagna recipe after baking. Wrap well with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 4 months.

How to Reheat

If you are reheating leftover or refrigerated chicken lasagna, it will take a little longer to completely warm up. Place a piece of parchment paper on the cheese, then place aluminum foil over that. Heat in a 350°F oven for 1- 1 1/2 hours, until hot and bubbly.

If you are reheating from frozen, follow the same instructions, just use a 300°F oven for at least 2 hours.

Ingredients

• Lasagna Noodles
• Chicken: Cooked and chopped. I bake the pieces with seasoning salt and poultry seasoning, covered, for 1 hour at 350°F. I prefer chicken with bones and skin, such as chicken thighs and drumsticks just because the flavor is amazing!
• Seasoning Salt, this is just to season the chicken while baking. If you have a favorite chicken seasoning, you could use that.
• Poultry Seasoning, again to season the chicken while it’s baking.
• Yellow Onion: Chopped tiny.
• Mushrooms: Chopped tiny.
• Flour, to thicken the mornay sauce.
• Cream of Mushroom Soup
• Milk
• Chicken Bouillon Powder
• Parmesan Cheese
• Cheddar Cheese: Grated, some for the Mornay Sauce and some for the top.

6. Stir in the chicken bouillon, parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of grated cheddar.

Note

Let sit for 15-20 minutes before cutting.

I use a paper towel to absorb any extra grease on the top because of the cheddar cheese.

If your white sauce becomes too thick, just add some milk or cream to it, as much as you need to make it a smooth, not too thick consistency.

Placing a piece of parchment on the cheese before covering with foil when reheating will prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil.
