This lazy day chicken lasagna is comfort food without the work. Frozen cheese ravioli takes the place of lasagna noodles and ricotta, so there’s nothing to boil and nothing to spread. It’s also a great way to use up leftover or rotisserie chicken.

Variations
- Change the Meat – Make ground chicken lasagna by substituting ground chicken for the shredded chicken. You can also use ground turkey for a change. Try making this lasagna with a rotisserie chicken.
- Add Veggies – Adding onion and bell peppers is a great way to sneak in veggies. (Learn and how to freeze onions to save time.) Chopped Zucchini or sliced mushrooms is another great addition.
- Spinach – Add spinach into the pasta sauce mixture. Kale is another great addition.
- Cheese – Try a cup cheddar cheese with the mozzarella. We’ve even added pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick to the lasagna.
- Ricotta Cheese – Add cottage cheese or ricotta cheese to the pasta dish.
- Make It a White Lasagna – Use cream of chicken soup or cream cheese instead of a tomato base for a new dish idea.
Your family will love how amazing this tastes. You will love how easy it is to enjoy the flavors of traditional lasagna without all of the work
How to make Chicken Lasagna
Step 1 – In a large bowl combine the cooked, shredded chicken with the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Mix everything together.
Step 2 – In a 9×13 casserole dish, place a layer of the frozen ravioli.
Step 3 – Next, spread the chicken mixture on top.
Step 4 – Top the chicken mixture with shredded cheese.
Step 5 – Keep repeating the layers until all of your ingredients are gone. Top with Parmesan cheese.
Step 6 – Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until cooked through and bubbly. Season with salt, pepper and fresh parsley and serve.
Recipe Tips

- Raviolis – There is no need to thaw the raviolis before placing in the baking dish. They will heat as the lasagna cooks in the oven.
What to Serve With Easy Chicken Lasagna
We like to serve it with a simple side salad or Easy Grilled Broccoli. Also, we love Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe that is great to get every last drop. We even like to dip in the yummy tomato sauce.
How to Freeze
Make this meal even easier by freezing it. I like to make one to eat for dinner and another to freeze for a simple meal later. You can store the other in a freezer safe foil disposable dish.
It does not take any extra work to make 2 because you already have all the ingredients out. This way you only have to mess up your kitchen once.
Save time and freeze another dish. You will thank me later. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months.
To freeze: Assemble the second pan but don’t bake it. Cover tightly with foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
To bake: Thaw overnight in the fridge. Bake covered at 350°F for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10-15 minutes, until hot and bubbly in the center.
Frequently Asked Questions
Store the leftover in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Yes! Assemble the lasagna up to a day ahead, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Since it’s going into the oven cold, add about 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time.
We recommend using a 9×13 baking dish. If you are making a smaller portion, you can make it in two 8×8 baking dish and freeze one.
