Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 15 oz (425g) ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and broth until smooth. Add garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
- Stir the shredded chicken into the white sauce and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, and Parmesan.
- Spread a layer of white sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer 4 noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the chicken sauce, and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat once more, then top with remaining noodles, sauce, and mozzarella.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 minutes more until golden and bubbly.
- Rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Chef’s Notes & Tips
- Rotisserie chicken: A store-bought rotisserie chicken is a fantastic shortcut for this recipe.
- Don’t skip the rest: Letting it sit ensures clean slices and allows the flavors to settle.
- Add greens: A layer of sautéed spinach or kale adds color and nutrients.
- Make it ahead: Assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours ahead; add 10 minutes to the covered bake time.
This white chicken lasagna is pure comfort food with a creamy, elegant twist. I hope it becomes a favorite in your home, bringing smiles and empty plates all around. If you try it, be sure to share it with someone special—and let me know how it turned out. Happy cooking!
