This is a staple in our house! My kids loved it and devoured leftovers the next morning!

This Creamy Chicken Lasagna is the definition of comfort food, built with layers of tender, well-seasoned shredded chicken, a rich ricotta and herb filling, and plenty of melty mozzarella. Finished with a silky béchamel or Alfredo sauce, it’s hearty, satisfying, and perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

How to Make Creamy Chicken Lasagna

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and translucent.

Step 3: Warm the Chicken

Stir the shredded chicken into the skillet, mixing well with the onion and garlic. Heat through, then remove from the stove and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Ricotta Filling

In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, ½ cup Parmesan, egg, basil, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and stir until smooth.

Step 6: Second Layer

• Add 3 more noodles.
• Spread the remaining ricotta mixture over the noodles.
• Top with the remaining chicken.
• Sprinkle with another 1 cup mozzarella and another third of the sauce.

Step 8: Bake

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 10–15 minutes, until the top is bubbly and lightly golden.

Step 9: Rest & Serve

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing so the layers set properly.
