More About This Recipe

  • When you think of lasagna, you likely think of an Italian sausage- or ground beef-filled pasta dish, or perhaps you much prefer the meatless version in which the sauce and the cheeses star as the main attraction. This chicken lasagna goes way beyond the classic and instead joins two Italian dinners together for the ultimate twist on tradition. Most chicken lasagna uses a white sauce such as Alfredo, which makes this recipe even more unexpected—it aligns with classic chicken Parmesan and uses marinara. What we love about this dish is that you can enjoy two Italian restaurant-worthy dishes in one—not to mention, it’s so easy thanks to oven-ready noodles and rotisserie chicken. Oven-ready noodles do not require boiling over the stove and instead, cook from the moisture in the sauce. If you think that’s a brilliant hack for lasagna, check out what else we’ve got for lasagna hacks plus more ways to make it.
