This easy chicken lasagna has amazing homestyle flavor and can be assembled quickly by using a few shortcuts. Rotisserie chicken, thick and hearty tomato sauce, spinach and cheese make a delicious lasagna your whole family will love.
Growing up dinner time was one of the most important parts of the day. No matter what we had going on, my mom would always make sure to have a meal on the table and we would all sit down to eat together. Sometimes we had a meal she had been working on all day and sometimes it was something quick and easy she whipped up after school. No matter what she made, I always enjoyed sitting with my family and talking about our day. Even if we just stared at each other some nights, I appreciated just being together.
Now that I am all grown up and have 3 kids of my own, I have been trying to carry on the same nightly dinner tradition. With everyone’s schedule it has been a little tougher than I imagined. I give so much credit to my mom always pulling it off night after night.
Some nights I take advantage of a few cooking shortcuts to get dinner on the table. I came up with this easy chicken lasagna recipe that uses two great shortcuts, Ragu Homestyle Sauce and rotisserie chicken. Even us food bloggers need some help sometimes. 🙂 Lasagna to me just screams comfort, homestyle food that everyone loves.
Sometimes I just don’t have time to roast my own chicken or spend all day pampering a sauce simmering on the stove and that is why I enjoy using the new Ragu Homestyle Thick and Hearty Sauces. This line of thick, slow roasted sauces that are full of vine-ripened tomatoes, onions and fresh herbs will have your family thinking you have been in the kitchen all day. These sauces are also free of preservatives and no high fructose corn syrup.
This easy chicken lasagna is quick to assemble. You can put it in the oven, get homework done and then you will be ready to eat.
Start with adding some of the Ragu Homestyle Thick and Hearty Four Cheese Sauce to the bottom of a greased baking dish. Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles.
Next add part of the chicken,cream cheese and spinach mixture and then top with cheese. Repeat with two more layers and bake.

We all love lasagne in our house. We’ve had beef Lasagne and vegetarian Lasagne, but never chicken. I’m going to have to give this one a go.
Thanks! The chicken is really great. Sometimes I will roast a few chicken breasts early in the week and use the shredded meat from that.
What a delicious looking dish! I am so eager to give this a try, I know my family will love it. It looks filling, comforting and melt in your mouth good!
Thanks Terri!
