Ingredients
  

Chicken Mixture
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix about 1 oz
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked crumbled bacon
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
Lasagna Assembly
  • 9 lasagna noodles cooked according to package directions
  • 2 cups heavy cream or milk for sauce consistency
  • 1 tbsp butter for greasing dish
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add shredded chicken, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup cheddar, and half of the crumbled bacon. Stir until well mixed. If the mixture is too thick, add a little cream or milk.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top, then more chicken mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar. Repeat layers twice, ending with cheese and remaining bacon on top.
  5. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the lasagna before baking — this keeps it creamy and flavorful.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.

Notes

This lasagna can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days before baking. It also freezes beautifully — just thaw overnight and bake as directed. For a spicy twist, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
