What I love about this recipe for Chicken Florentine Lasagna

While I love my Quick and Easy Traditional Lasagna, sometimes I prefer comfort food with a rich creamy sauce. This quick and easy chicken lasagna recipe is a great way to use leftover chicken and is a great make-ahead dinner option. It’s so simple, though, you could easily make it for dinner on a Monday night!

Frequently Asked Questions about this creamy white chicken lasagna

Can I substitute mozzarella for the Cheddar?

Absolutely. But this recipe is so good as-is, I would recommend substituting in only 1 cup mozzarella cheese and using 1 cup of Cheddar. The Cheddar really adds a depth of flavor you don’t get from mozzarella. 

What should I serve with this recipe?

A classic Caesar Salad, my Bread Machine Garlic Knots (or garlic bread) and some white wine would make for a delicious meal.
