How to Make Cheesy Chicken Lasagna Casserole



Ingredient Insights & Substitutions

  • Lasagna Noodles – No-boil noodles work if you want to skip a step, but traditional lasagna noodles provide a heartier bite.
  • Rotisserie Chicken – A flavorful, easy shortcut. Leftover roasted chicken or even shredded turkey works too.
  • Heavy Cream & Ricotta – Creates an ultra-rich, creamy sauce. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • Sundried Tomatoes – Add a tangy, umami depth that balances the richness of the cheese. If you’re not a fan, swap them out for roasted red peppers or sautéed mushrooms.
  • Baby Spinach – A pop of color and nutrients. Frozen spinach works too—just squeeze out any excess liquid before adding it.
  • Mozzarella & Parmesan – A combination of gooey and nutty goodness. Want a little kick? Try smoked mozzarella or pepper jack for a twist.

Tips & Suggestions

  • Want Extra Crunch? – Top with buttery breadcrumbs or crushed garlic croutons for a crispy topping.
  • Make It Spicier – Add extra chili flakes or a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet-spicy kick.
  • Meal Prep Magic – Assemble in advance, refrigerate overnight, and bake when ready for an effortless dinner.
  • Pair It With – Serve with a simple green salad, garlic bread, or roasted veggies for a complete meal.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat your oven to 375℉.
step 2
Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water with Kosher Salt (as needed) over medium high heat to a boil.
step 3
Cook the Lasagna Noodles (8 oz) in the boiling water until al dente, drain and set aside.
step 4
Make the filling: In a large saucepan over medium low heat, add the Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp). Once melted, add the Kosher Salt (1 tsp), Garlic Powder (1 tsp), Onion Powder (1 tsp), Dried Oregano (1/2 tsp), Smoked Paprika (1/2 tsp), Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/4 tsp), Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp), and Garlic (3 cloves). Toast the mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Then add the Heavy Cream (3 cups) and gently warm until the cream begins to simmer and thicken about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Grated Parmesan Cheese (1 cup) and Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese (1 3/4 cups). Fold in the Rotisserie Chicken (2 lb), Sun-Dried Tomatoes (1 jar), and Fresh Baby Spinach (4 3/4 cups) until well combined.
step 5
Assemble: Spray an 8x8 inch oven safe baking dish with nonstick spray. Layer the bottom of the dish with cooked noodles. Ladle about 6 ounces of the filling over the noodles then sprinkle with ¼ of the Low-Moisture Mozzarella (1 1/2 cups). Continue layering the noodles, sauce, and cheese until you have 4 layers. Place the dish in the oven and cook until the cheese is melted and beginning to turn golden brown on top, about 20 minutes.
step 6
Top the lasagna with Fresh Parsley (to taste) or chives.
