Ingredients You’ll Need For This Creamy Chicken Lasagna Recipe:   

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Uncooked lasagna noodles

How To Make This Creamy Chicken Lasanga Recipe:

Get out a large pot and bring water to a boil. 

Once the water is boiling add in the lasagna noodles and cook them for 8-10 minutes until they are tender. 

Then drain the water and rinse the noodles in cold water and then set the noodles aside.

Questions & Reviews

  1. Nancy says:
    We do a chicken lasagna recipe that everyone loves. The sauce is made with cream of chicken soup, sour cream and garlic powder. Thin it down with water to spaghetti sauce consistency and stir in shredded chicken. Layer with no-cook noodles and cheese (any kind) and bake. Everybody always asks for the recipe.
  2. Happy Valley Chow says:
    I love me a good lasagna and this definitely sounds delicious! Great job :) Happy Blogging!
  3. Terra says:
    Couldn't you just reserve about 8oz of the water that you cooked the chicken in instead of using the boullion cube? I could see using the cube if you were using a pre-cooked chicken breast but since you have the water isn't that pretty much the same thing?
  4. April says:
    This recipe looks delicious, but my hubby is allergic to MSG which means I can't use a bouillon cube, what can I use in it's place?
  5. Karen says:
    I am also curious about a substitution for the boullion cube? Regardless, it looks delish! I am sorry to hear about your husbands grandma too.
  6. Mary says:
    I do hope everything calms down for you soon - the chicken lasagna sounds wonderful - I've never made a chicken one - will definitely be trying this soon! Mary x
  7. DINA FLOR B. MILAN says:
    So easy and quick to cook. Hassle free recipes!!! Thanks!!!
  8. Marielle Carlisle says:
    Have you ever seen Better Than Bouillon? There is no MSG in it, and it is quite tasty.
  9. Kassi says:
    I agree! Better than bouillon is SOO much better tasting. You can get both beaf and chicken at Costco. Its like a creamy paste. Technically everyone is allergic to MSG. It is actually a neurotoxin but some are more sensitive to it than others. I try to avoid it as much as possible. I get head aches.
  10. Kassi says:
    Yes I agree! Better than bouillon is SOO much better tasting! You can get both beef and chicken at Costco. It is like a creamy paste. It has less sodium, no MSG and has no preservatives which is why it has to be refrigerated after opening.Technically everybody is allergic to MSG. It is actually a neurotoxin but some people are more sensitive to it than others. I try to avoid it as much a possible. I get head aches from it.
  11. Sara says:
    I made this tonight and it turned out fantastic! I made it last night and put it in the fridge and threw it in the oven when my hubby was on his way home tonight. Worked well with leftover rotisserie chicken. My almost 1 year old ate it up! :) I'll be making this again!!
  12. Cyd says:
    You could use the water that the chicken cooked in. The bouillon cube will give it more flavor.
  13. Erika says:
    Hi, This sounds so delish! In fact I havent found a single recipe on this website I havent liked! My question is couldn't you just use chicken broth in place of the chicken bouillon?
  14. Cyd says:
    Chicken broth will work fine.
  15. Shannon says:
    THIS IS AMAZING!!!! I am eating my leftovers right now. I was surprised because I didn't add salt or pepper or any spices to the chicken/cream cheese/broth mixture so I was certain it would be bland. I was so wrong- I'm so glad I didn't add anything. I also was nervous because it looked very liquid-y but it makes for the perfect lasagna! I added some parmasean and provolone cheese in my mixture which only added yummy flavor. I would definitely let the lasagna stand for about 10 minutes to let everything stiffen up a bit. I can't recommend this enough!
  16. Jill says:
    Do you think this could be a freezer meal (pre baking..)?
  17. Cyd says:
    You could assemble the whole recipe, then freeze. When ready to eat, just thaw in the fridge and cook.
  18. Jess says:
    Should this dish be covered when put into the oven?
  19. Honey says:
    I made this for a dinner party last weekend and it was a huge hit. I did make a few minor changes - I used about 3 cups of shredded chicken from a store bought rotisserie chicken, I used Barilla's no-bake lasagne noodles instead of boiling noodles, and instead of a bouillion cube, I used reduced sodium chicken broth. I'm sure the recipe - as written - is equally good. I just like using my tried and true time savers! Anyway, everyone loved it - thanks for sharing! :-)
  20. Cyd says:
    I would cover it for most of the cooking time. Maybe remove foil for the last 5 minutes.
  21. Jessica says:
    I've been making this recipe from Allrecipes.com for years now and it is an absolute favorite! Did you change anything to the recipe or the instructions besides adding Italian seasoning?
  22. Kim Seevers says:
    I make this a lot and my family loves it. thank you for such a great recipe!
  23. Jodi says:
    I have a question, can I just cook the chicken in the instant pot with chicken broth and then put it in the bowl with the other ingredients?
  24. Momma Cyd says:
    You can cook your chicken any way you wish, it just needs to be shredded after cooking. And then it asks for 1 chicken bouillon cube and 1/4 cup hot water. You could add that again or use 1/4 cup of liquid out of the Instant Pot from cooking the chicken. It might not be as strong of a chicken bouillon taste.
