Lasagna is a beloved classic that originates from Italy, with many regions boasting their own unique take on this layered delight. Traditionally made with layers of pasta, ragù (a meat sauce), and béchamel, variations have traversed the globe, adopting the local flair of their new homes, including the United States. Creamy Chicken Lasagna, an American twist on the classic, features a marriage of creamy sauce and tender chicken, offering a comforting and satisfying meal. It’s perfect for those seeking a variation of the rich and savory beef or pork version. As a filling and warming dish, it makes an excellent choice for a family dinner or a gathering where you’re looking to impress with a satiating, yet slightly unconventional, comfort food.
This Creamy Chicken Lasagna pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad tossed with a light vinaigrette or a steamed vegetable medley to balance the creaminess of the dish. Garlic bread or a crusty baguette can also be served on the side for those who’d like to indulge in an extra bit of carb delight to soak up the rich sauce.
