When my kids hear the word "lasagna" they are expecting rich red tomato sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, meat and yummy pasta. I've seen several white chicken lasagna recipes floating around Pinterest and wanted to give one a try. This is the pin that finally caught my attention . The pin is from Rachelle at Mommy I'm Hungry. Her recipe uses Ranch Dressing and my kids LOVE ranch dressing! I LOVE ranch dressing, especially Deb's Homemade Ranch Dressing recipe. If you haven't tried it yet now is the time!
You can cook the chicken yourself or save time and use a Rotisserie chicken instead. After the sauce is cooked you layer your noodles, sauce and chicken in your casserole dish.
The kids were skeptical when I brought out this strange looking lasagna dish but skepticism quickly turned into a hearty appetite. It's hard to find a new recipe that everyone likes. Like all lasagna's, it tasted even better the next day warmed up, making for perfect leftovers.
Soccer and Lacrosse season have started at our house, which means our schedule gets pretty crazy with practices and games. Next time I make White Chicken Lasagna I'm going to freeze it in individual portions so I can have a good dinner ready in minutes!
With results like this, I have to say that......
