Creamy White Chicken Lasagna (Printer-Friendly)

Tender chicken and artichokes buttery layered in noodles with herbed cream sauce and bubbling cheese.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
02 - 9 lasagna noodles, cooked until al dente
03 - 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
04 - 1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

→ Cheese Blend

05 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
06 - 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

→ Cream Sauce

07 - 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
08 - 1 1/2 cups whole milk
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil, plus extra for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with whole milk and garlic powder using an electric mixer until silky and smooth. Fold in chopped fresh basil for aroma.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine shredded chicken breast, chopped artichoke hearts, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Mix in half of the cream cheese mixture until ingredients are evenly coated.
03 - Spread a thin layer of the remaining cream cheese mixture across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles across the base. Top with one-third of the chicken filling. Repeat layering process two more times, finishing with a final layer of noodles.
04 - Spread the rest of the cream cheese mixture over the top noodle layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese to ensure a golden finish.
05 - Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 25 minutes, until the lasagna is heated through and bubbling at the edges.
06 - Remove from oven and allow lasagna to stand uncovered for 5 minutes to set. Sprinkle with extra fresh basil before slicing and serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Let cream cheese reach room temperature for easy mixing and a lump-free sauce.
02 - Chop basil just before use to preserve its bright flavor.
03 - Cover lasagna while baking to retain moisture, then uncover at the end if a golden top is desired.
04 - Lasagna reheats best covered at 350°F; slice and microwave individual portions for convenience.
05 - Prepared lasagna can be assembled in advance, refrigerated for up to 24 hours, or frozen for longer storage.
