Cheesy Chicken Lasagna

Here is a fun alternative to your normal lasagna.  I found this recipe for cheesy chicken lasagna at What’s for Dinner? It is so delicious and not that complicated to make.

I love the chicken and ranch flavor to it.  You can increase the cheese too, if you like it extra cheesy.  This is yummy, nice comfort food.  The Easy Parmesan Knots would go great with this dish, then add a tossed salad and dinner’s done.

The only problem I had with the recipe is there were too many noodles for the amount of chicken sauce mixture.  I would recommend reducing the noodles to 8-12 oz.

Cheesy Chicken Lasagna


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (16 oz) lasagna noodles, cooked (I recommend reducing it to 8 oz to 12 oz)
  • 2 (12 oz) cans evaporated milk (not fat-free)
  • 1 (1 oz) pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix
  • 3 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Boil noodles according to pkg directions. Rinse in cold water and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. In a sauce pan, combine evaporated milk (don’t use fat-free version) and and ranch dressing mix. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently until dry ingredients are dissolved. Stir in chicken and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, 25 minutes (don’t do any less), stirring frequently.
  4. Layer half of lasagna noodles, chicken sauce, and cheese in 9×13 pan spray with non-stick cooking spray. Repeat layers again.
  5. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Serves 8-12.

I melted a 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan and added a couple tablespoons of flour. I mixed in the ranch dressing packet. I then added one can of the low fat evaporated milk and one can of whole milk. I thickened this, added a pkg. of cream cheese, and threw in the chicken. The sauce was thick and tasted amazing!

I made this tonight and it was so good! I think the problem with the people that have commented on the sauce curdling is being caused by 1 or 2 of these things. They are either cooking too hot (you want to make hot but not boil) or they aren’t stirring frequently enough (I stirred just about constantly). I didn’t have that issue at all. The sauce is very watery when you add it to the noodles, but during the baking process it will thicken so don’t fret. Make sure you heat the sauce for the 25 minutes as specified because I think this helps to make it thicken while baking. I highly recommend this recipe…so good!!!!

I’m not sure why, but this is going around Pinterest advertised as something completely different (a crescent roll chicken recipe). Yours looks delicious, though, and my sister-in-law and I are going to try it tomorrow night! (My husband won’t eat anything with ranch in it, so she and I have been waiting for him to go out of town so we could make this recipe.) Thanks!

Lasagna Noodle Tip: whenever using lasagna noodles in a casserole, make it up the night before, putting UNCOOKED lasagna noodles and refrigerate overnight. The noodles soften and absorb the flavor. When you bake the next night, those noodles are going to be baked to perfection! So much easier than working with boiled noodles, too!

I tweaked it a little by adding a drained can of carrots and steamed broccoli to the chicken mixture and simmered it with the milk mixture (along with 4 ounces of cream cheese) until all the excess liquids had evaporated. I didn’t want just the chicken and pasta. I served it with garlic bread. It turned out excellent.

joyce March 1, 2013 - 3:44 pm

I read in another blog where someone said that the noodles were tough. NEVER end with your noodles on top. Bottom layer should be pasta on top of butter, then meat mixture, then cheese. Repeat.
If you put the cheese next to the noddles, it will stick to the noodles and be hard.

My milk mixture did the same! I tried twice…what a waste of milk and ranch dressing mix! I ended straining the second milk mixture and then made a white sauce and used the strained milk and added some seasoning…still had a little of the ranching flavor but whatever the thickening agent is must be what’s curdling?

Reply
Chelle March 3, 2013 - 4:51 pm

I have a feeling I was cooking it too high and it came to a boil. You can’t do that. I went to the Nestle website to troubleshoot why it would have separated. They said evaporated milk can’t be cooked too hot or it will separate/ curdle. I have made this soooo many times and that was thefirst time that ever happened. My family loves this recipe. ***A simmer is just a few bubbles coming up every here and there. A full on boil is constant bubbles. 🙂

I bet broccoli would be a great addition. My MIL makes a hot dish/casserole that kind of reminds me of this. Minus all the fake cream of chicken and processed cheese 😉 it contains broccoli and is tasty. I am making this right now and might add some. This recipe is so good. I probably make it once a month. I use 12 noodles and don’t cook the chicken with the milk mixture. I did once and it seemed too tough. If you do use a full box of noodles I might add another can of milk. My milk mixture never thickens. It just slightly reduces.
**Note: the milk mixture completely separated and was no good. I either cooked it too high or too long. So bummed. It was a watery mess. Grainy. No good. Threw most of it out 🙁

Chelle March 3, 2013 - 5:02 pm

Oh and I meant that in the sauce pan it never thickens, but in the oven the noodles just perfectly soak it up. It turns out perfectly creamy. No soupy mess. I’m not afraid to try this again. I’ve made it plenty of times before my last incident. I’m betting it was an error on my part. Not the recipe.

This was delicious! My whole family loved it; my 13 year old daughter even said that it’s in her new favorites list. I did’t have regular evaporated milk, so I used a can of fat-free evaporated milk, then I put about a 1/4 c. of cream in the empty can and added 1% milk to the top of the can. i also added 1 1/2 to 2 T. flour. It worked great. Next time, I would double the sauce, though. It definitely needed more. Yum! Yum!

I used fat free evaporated milk and mine turned out great. I made sure to stir it constantly on the stove on medium low (closer to low) without the chicken, I waited to add that until the sauce thickened and never let it come to a rolling boil without stirring it. It didn’t curdle in the oven either so I don’t really see why you can’t use the fat free stuff, it’s probably just someones way of trying to prevent others of reducing the calories or fat in a recipe. Im sure it’s great with regular evaporated milk but it’s also great with the fat free stuff too if thats what you have on hand as long as you don’t leave the liquid alone on the stove to boil…

Easy Chicken Meals the Whole Family Will Love November 4, 2012 - 11:06 pm

I made this but I used a whole Wal Mart buttery garlic rotisserie chicken cut up into cubes (no skin of course), I added another can of milk and also another half package of ranch dressing. I also used extra cheese. You just can’t go wrong there! DELICIOUS!!!

I played around with this lasagna a bit by adding 1/2 brick cream cheese and about 1c parmesan to the sauce (2 cans of evap milk and 1 pack ranch) and used 9 lasagna noodles with 3 chick breast cut up. used several cups of mozzarella and 2C Kraft Italian 5 cheese. It was awesome! Next time I will add another can of evap milk to have even more sauce. Will make again!!

Changes I made to make this a crock pot recipes….they licked the pan clean…..loved it.
DO NOT COOK THE noodles…..add 2 cups water or chicken broth or a combo of milk and chicken broth and water to amount to 2 cups total EXTRA liquid. I used about 8 ounces of noodes, layer some sauce in crock pot (well sprayed with pam) then put in a layer of dry noodles, more sauce, then cheese, repeat layers ending with sauce a some cheese. Cook 4 hours on low (I started it on high for the first 20 minutes or so to heat up the crock then low for the rest of the 4 hours)

Awesome dish! I used chicken breasts, and just to see how it would contribute, I marinated the chicken in olive oil and a packet of dry Ranch dressing mix overnight in the fridge, then roasted them. It was wonderful! The chicken was moist and super flavorful. Such a wonderful dish; the fam just sucked it up. No leftovers!

My sauce was pretty thick, did you simmer the 25 min? I also use a bit more chicken, maybe 4 cups so it wasn’t runny when layering on the noodles. Being cheese lovers here, I also was a bit heavy handed with the cheese using 2+ cups each. It was delicious! I’ve made it twice now and the hub keeps asking for it.

Fabulous lasagna! I really enjoy my meal and I’ll do it again for sure. I use an homemade recipe for my Ranch mix. I’m giving it to you if you want to try next time:
For 1 oz:
4 tsp of dried parsley
0.5 tsp of dried thyme
2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
1.5 tsp of freshly grounded black pepper
1 tsp of kosher salt
Of course you can adjust any spices/herbs as you like.

My issue with this recipe (and the original) is the cheese…do you add it to the sauce or layer it with the lasagna? No where does it really say and it looks like it’s NOT added to the sauce, although people are making it that way. Using the ingredients to make a penne bake tonight instead…we’ll see how it turns out. Found on Pinterest.

I tried it again and it worked! Keeping the milk/powder mixture on med-low for at least 25 minutes was key, I think. After the 25 minutes, when it began to thicken up somewhat I also added about 3 oz of cream cheese, 1 cup of cottage cheese, and a 1/4 cup of cream of celery condensed soup for extra creaminess. We used Hidden Valley spicy Italian (a bit more kick than the regular flavor) and I added fresh mushrooms, diced green pepper, diced onion, garlic salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. It was really good! Thanks for the recipe!

There are several ways you can do it. I would thaw 2 chicken breasts, cut the raw meat into small squares about 1/2 inch or so square, then cook it all in a frying pan on the stove. Good luck!

There are two ways I like to cook chicken. Sometimes I just use my Geoge Foreman grill. OR I poach it. To poach boneless, skinless chicken breasts, boil a large pan of water. Drop the chicken into the boiling water and leave the heat on just until the water returns to a boil. Then cover the pan, shut the heat off, and wait about 10 minutes, the time it will take for the chicken to no longer be pink in the middle. Remove pieces from water, cool, and cut into pieces. Sometimes I make extra pieces of cooked chicken and put it into freezer bags and freeze until I need it for a recipe. Hope this helps!

Andrea, I would bake it, but boiling would work just as well!

So i found this on pinterest and I wanted to make it for my husband but i’m a novice in the kitchen and I don’t understand how I’m supposed to cook the chicken? Boil it or how?

I have made this twice and it was a huge hit with family and guests. I use 9 lasagna noodles – I think the ozs. in the recipe could be confusing. I layer 3 noodles in a 9×13 pan, add sauce and cheese, then repeat 2 more times ending with sauce and cheese on top. Hope this might help.

Hmm… NOW I know why my dish didn’t turn out anything like the one pictured. The picture above is from allrecipes.com https://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chicken-Lasagna-II/Detail.aspx and the recipe isn’t the same, thus the discrepancy. Please show a genuine photo so the rest of us don’t wonder what is wrong with ours :-/
PS- The recipe at allrecipes has cottage cheese, cream of mushroom, and cream of chicken, as well as the evaporated milk and other ingredients here.

The allrecipes recipe does not have the ranch powder, however, which I think would be great along with the soups and cottage cheese.

I made this last night and while we liked the flavor, the texture of the sauce was really “off”. I followed the directions listed, but it was runny and mealy, never creaming or thickening. :-/ I will give this another shot b/c the taste was still good, but this time I’ll make the sauce as a roux. Did anyone else who made this have their sauce come out right? I hope adjusting the sauce will let the cheese melt properly with the milk & ranch, because I had high hopes for this dish.

My wife says she’s going to make this recipe so I took a look at it. I am a chef. I’m confused as to why you’d cook chicken, then simmer the cooked chicken for 25 minutes, then bake it for another 35 minutes. What did the chicken do to you?

wifeofachef January 27, 2012 - 11:50 am

Hilarious, I thought the same thing. I seasoned the breasts with salt, pepper, garlic and cooked at 350 for about 20 minutes, cooled and sliced. Didn’t add to the sauce but made it a layer in the lasagna.

I just put this in the oven- the mix was creamy until right about 15 minutes into the 25 minute simmering process before it turned and looked almost slightly curdled; I followed the ingredient list but pulled the mix from the heat because I didn’t want the mix to turn anymore. I’m anxious to see how it comes out once it’s finished cooking.

It does turn into a more ricotta type sauce after cooked.

Just made this yesterday. It was delicious! I used fat free skim milk since I didn’t have any evaporated milk. I added a tablespoon of flour because I was nervous about how runny it was – just like milk, but it set up great! I probably didn’t need the flour. I also used no boil lasagna noodles. It worked great and was so easy. I baked covered for 40 minutes and uncovered for 20. I also added a diced red pepper for flavor and color. Delicious!
