Tips:

  • Use shredded chicken: Shredded chicken cooks quickly and evenly in the slow cooker, making it the perfect protein for this lasagna. You can use cooked chicken from a rotisserie chicken or boil and shred your own chicken breasts.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: This recipe uses a combination of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. The ricotta cheese adds creaminess, the mozzarella cheese adds gooeyness, and the Parmesan cheese adds a nutty flavor.
  • Use lasagna noodles that don't require boiling: No-boil lasagna noodles are easy to use and cook evenly in the slow cooker. If you don't have no-boil lasagna noodles, you can use regular lasagna noodles, but you will need to boil them according to the package directions before assembling the lasagna.
  • Layer the lasagna carefully: When assembling the lasagna, be sure to layer the ingredients evenly and press down gently to compact them. This will help the lasagna hold together when you serve it.
  • Cook the lasagna on low: The lasagna should cook on low for 6-8 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to cook evenly.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker cheesy white chicken lasagna is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The chicken and cheese are cooked to perfection in the slow cooker, and the lasagna is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Serve with a side of garlic bread or salad for a complete meal.
