Tips

  • Shredded rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut if you don't have time to cook your own.
  • Use room temperature dairy (especially the cream) to avoid curdling when added to the hot pan.
  • Want a healthier version? Swap regular lasagna noodles for whole wheat. Replace heavy cream with regular milk + 1 tbsp flour (to thicken). Use part-skim mozzarella.
  • Optionally add some greens to the filling! Kale, spinach, or zucchini all work great.
