Prep Time: 25 mins
Cook Time: 1 hr 5 mins
Total Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 1 9×13-inch lasagna

Ingredients

  1. 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
  2. 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  3. 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  4. 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  5. ¼ cup hot water
  6. 1 cube chicken bouillon
  7. 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, place chicken in a saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken from the saucepan and shred.
  4. Combine shredded chicken, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese in a large bowl. Dissolve hot water and bouillon in a liquid measure; pour over chicken mixture and stir until well combined.
  5. Spread 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with 1/2 of the chicken mixture and top with 3 lasagna noodles; repeat. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

This turned out great!! Only change I made was I used left over turkey from Thanksgiving.
Xavier Davis
This was a nice change from the usual beef and sausage lasagna. My kids loved it and fought over the leftovers the next day, and my sister-in-law, who does not eat beef, got to try lasagna for the first time.

We liked this recipe but only with the changes that others suggested, otherwise it would have been too bland. Cooked chicken in instant pot with 2 tsp Italian seasoning and shredded. Sauteed 1 onion, 1/2 sweet green pepper, 1/2 sweet red pepper, 2 garlic cloves and a few shakes of red chili pepper flakes. Added these to chicken once it was shredded. Used seasoned broth from cooking chicken (1/2c) plus added about 1/2 tsp of chicken boullion. Placed in 8×11 glass dish and it filled it up nicely. Used ready to bake noodles. Used jarred spaghetti sauce. Very good.

I made it for my daughter’s family when she came home after having a baby. The grandchildren and they couldn’t get enough. Everyone loved this lasagna. I added freshly chopped spinach, arugula, and Asiago cheese for a tangy twist.

I am bothered by people who alter the recipe and then write a review. I made this exactly as directed. It was great and I will definitely make again.

This was ok or even pretty good but I will not add it to my rotation. I made it as is and it was so simple and lacking something… other ppl added things like onions and spinach and this would help. I’d give it a 4. My teen son ate it when he was starving so that made me happy. His dad only had a small helping so he didn’t love it. Basically I used 2 cups of cheese in the assembly and added one more cup on top. It was mostly sauce and cheese on noodles with a hint of chicken. Be sure to use a good sauce like Prego. If you are feeding kids or teens give it a try but maybe not great as written for adults.

Delicious!

I think the recipe is great as written. I just wanted to experiment a little so I sautéed about a pound of mushrooms with fresh garlic. After spreading the mixture of chicken and cheese I spooned a layer of the sautéed mushrooms onto the chicken mixture before topping with the lasagna noodles. I did use 5 noodles per layer because I thought 3 noodles would be a little sparse. No other changes made. It came out wonderful and with just the 2 of us at home, I am sure the leftovers will be fantastic.

This tasted so good! I used pizza sauce instead and added a little Parmesan on the top. I don’t think I’ll ever be going back to beef lasagna again!
Erin Hoffman
I made the recipe as directed. It is good but feels like it needs something. If I make it again I would have to add peppers, garlic, and parmesan cheese to the mix.
Glenn Robinson
Delicious! It’s so frustrating to read all the reviews that take off stars yet didn’t follow the recipe… I followed it exactly as written and love it. I might add some more lasagna noodles (9 total would be ideal) and would like to try this in a crockpot. Otherwise it’s perfect as written!

Didn’t have the cream cheese

578 Reviews so does my 579 add anything of value? Let’s start with acknowledgement and gratitude. Foremost, thank you Caroline, each one of you that provide the recipes and comments. I started cooking last year and you validate my thought, “If you can read you can cook.” Thanks to Allrecipes for the “new” serving number tool. For the most part it’s only my wife Cheryl so have ingredient measured for tool save time and money. For example, Caroline’s creamy chicken lasagna only required one chicken breast and we had no left overs. I didn’t read the reviews. We still loved it. But with mushrooms, onions and peppers it would be “six” stars. Now I’m off to find a fruit salad recipe. Have a blessed day, Jack K.
Christopher West
This is easy to make and absolutely my son’s favorite. He wants me to make for every event he attends and it’s always a hit. I do cook the noodles before I bake but other than that, I change nothing.

I needed to use leftovers with the poached chicken breasts I had,and I found this Creamy Chicken Lasagna. Never thought that cream cheese instead of ricotta cheese would be so delicious! I added sauteed chopped crimini mushrooms with chopped garlic,and a dash of sweet red wine since I didn’t have sherry. I mixed that mixture in the chicken cream cheese,with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and mozzarella, with chicken broth that I used was from the poached chicken breasts. I didn’t have lasagna noodles in my pantry but used spaghetti pasta as a substitute. I made my own Maramara sauce,and added sliced black olives on top of the mozzarella cheese before baking,( that’s the way my mom always did).I will make this again,and again,we loved it!

A bit different than the usual fare for lasagna, but I liked it. The cream cheese element changed the dynamic of the dish, but I am a bit of a traditionalist, so I won’t be substituting this for the other. That having been said, it’s worth working into a recipe rotation.
Angela Fletcher
This recipe AS IS is superb / to our tastes that is.
Christopher Steele
This recipe was awesome! I lived for the cream cheese, it was a great addition to the dish. I did do a few things different with it, instead of 6 pieces of lasagna pasta I used 9. I put 3 on the bottom of the baking dish. And I forgot to put aluminum foil while it was cooking in the oven which made the top layer of cheese and sauce burn a little and become hard… rookie mistake lol

Followed directions and recommendations of fellow reviewers due to health issues; low fat cream cheese, reduced fat mozzarella, and instead of chicken bouillon cubes ( which upon reading the ingredients, just made me go YAK) I chose a vegan paste alternative instead. I gave this a 4 stars since I fussed with the original recipe of which I apologize to those who say to follow the original and then play around with it. My family said it tasted more mexican than italian although less spicy. I would definitely add spinach next time; however, I would blend it in the Ninja to sneak it in because my boys are that picky about GREEN stuff so I have to get creative. I suppose I would have to add Italian seasoning also to give it the flavor they wanted. I tasted it and thought it was good. Boiling the chicken was awesome and and shredding it was actually therapeutic. Thanks for the recipe as I will try it again and take a picture as it did come out great but my husband cut into before I could snap a pic! Oh, I did us an oval glass cookware smaller than 9×13 and bigger than 8×9 with ready to go in the oven lasagna which I had to cut to fit and it worked out nicely. Creativity in the kitchen is all about learning, sharing, and growing with new and awesome recipes. So thanks for putting this easy and family fun recipe to mess around with on here. Greatly appreciated from a Mom who spins with what to prepare for finicky eaters in the house. Much gratitude again because this is a clea
