9 lasagna noodles
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for sprinkling over the top once lasagna is assembled)
fresh parsley
salt (I don't add any salt, as the soup is already quite salty)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
  • Add lasagna noodles to boiling water and place lid tightly back on the pot, immediately turn heat off, don't open the pot for another 10-15 minutes (this produces perfect al dente pasta every time), Drain, and rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • While pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large saucepan over low to medium heat and cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently.
  • In a large bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, sautéed onions and garlic mixture, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, pepper, poultry seasoning, and 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, and all of the cubed chicken.
  • In a 9x13 inch casserole dish start layering as follows: place 3 cooked lasagna noodles at bottom of dish, and spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles, sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella over the chicken mixture.
  • Create another layer by repeating above step.
  • Use last 3 noodles to cover the second layer, and spread the entire top of the lasagna with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan.
  • When the layering is completed, cover with aluminum foil, making certain that the foil is not touching the top of the lasagna, and bake for 25 minutes @ 350 degree F (175 degrees C)
  • Remove foil and continue baking, for another 15-20 minutes or until cheesee browns nicely.
  • Let stand 10 minutes before serving, so lasagna can set as cheese cools (I usually let it set overnight, to allow for easier cutting).
  • Sprinkle parsley over dish before serving.

8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
9 ounces fresh spinach
1 tablespoon butter

  • In a 9x13 inch casserole dish start layering as follows: place 3 lasagna noodles at bottom of dish, and spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles, 1/2 of the mushrooms, and 1/2 of the spinach. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella over the top.
  • Create another layer by repeating above step.
  • Use last 3 noodles to cover the second layer, and spread the entire top of the lasagna with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan.
  • When the layering is completed, cover with aluminum foil, making certain that the foil is not touching the top of the lasagna, and bake for 25 minutes @ 350 degree F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove foil and continue baking, for another 15-20 minutes or until cheesee browns nicely.
  • Let stand 10 minutes before serving, so lasagna can set as cheese cools (I usually let it set overnight, to allow for easier cutting).
  • Sprinkle parsley over dish before serving.
  • (Can cut recipe in half and use a 8x8 pan as well. Freezes nicely!).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lasagna noodles. Look for noodles that are made with 100% durum wheat semolina and that are not pre-cooked. These noodles will hold their shape better and won't get mushy when cooked.
  • Make sure your béchamel sauce is thick and creamy. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon and hold its shape when you pour it. If the sauce is too thin, it will make the lasagna runny.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them just until they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Layer the lasagna carefully. Start with a layer of sauce, then add a layer of noodles, a layer of chicken, a layer of sauce, and a layer of cheese. Repeat the layers until you have used up all of the ingredients.
  • Bake the lasagna until it is golden brown and bubbly. The lasagna should be cooked through and the cheese should be melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Chicken lasagna with white sauce is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
