Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 10 lasagna noodles, broken
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

  • Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
  • Add chicken breasts and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned on one side (they should release easily from the pan when ready). 
  • Flip chicken and add chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a low simmer over medium-low heat, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Remove chicken to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before shredding.
  • To the chicken broth in the pan, add the cream and Italian seasoning. Stir.
  • Add in broken lasagna noodles and stir well. Bring back up to a low simmer.
  • Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, until tender, stirring every few minutes.
  • When noodles are cooked, stir chicken back in and top with shredded cheese. Cover and let melt before serving.

Tips for Success

  1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly shredded mozzarella melts better than pre-shredded varieties.
  2. Monitor the Heat: Keep the skillet at a low simmer to prevent the sauce from burning or curdling.
  3. Customize the Seasonings: Feel free to add garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or more herbs for extra flavor.
  4. Check the Noodles: Stir often to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Serving Suggestions

This creamy white chicken lasagna skillet is a hearty meal on its own, but you can pair it with:

Steamed Veggies: Try broccoli, green beans, or asparagus for added nutrition.

A Fresh Green Salad: Add a crisp, light side to balance the richness.

Garlic Bread: Perfect for soaking up every drop of the creamy sauce.

FAQs

1. Can I Use Pre-Cooked Chicken?
Yes! Rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken works well. Add it when you stir the chicken back into the noodles.

2. What Can I Substitute for Heavy Cream?
Half-and-half or whole milk can be used, but the sauce will be less rich. You can thicken it with a small amount of flour or cornstarch if needed.

3. Can I Make This Dish Ahead of Time?
This dish is best served fresh, but you can prep the chicken and sauce components in advance and cook the noodles just before serving.

4. Can I Use Other Noodles?
Yes! Any pasta that holds sauce well—like penne or rotini—can be used instead of lasagna noodles.
