Can You Freeze White Chicken Lasagna?
To prepare the lasagna for freezing, allow to cool, cover each portion with the lid and then freeze. They will keep for up to one month. To cook from frozen, preheat the oven to 180C/350F, but cook for one hour.
You can either assemble the lasagna in a freezer-safe container or you can place leftovers into an airtight plastic container or freezer bags.
If you already baked the lasagna, allow it to cool to room temperature, but you can freeze lasagna before you cook it as well.


What Vegetables Can I Use In White Chicken Lasagna?
For this recipe, I used spinach and artichoke. You could also use kale, or another hardy green. If you want to add more veggies to this dish by all means go for it! But make sure your veggies are cut thinly and cooked first before adding to your spinach.
It’s a versatile dish when it comes to veggies, you could go for portabella mushrooms, squashes, olives, peppers…lots of options!
What To Serve With This Lasagna

- Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread

Recipe Tips and Notes
- Don’t let the sheets get clumpy. Once you’ve cooked your noodles to just under al dente, do not—dump them in a colander to drain in the sink as you prepare the sauce and cheese. They’ll quickly become a clumpy. Instead, after you’ve drained the pot, lay each noodle flat on an oiled baking sheet.
- Make sure you have enough layers. You should have at least three layers!
- Avoid a dry lasagna. If you leave your lasagna uncovered in the oven, it will become dry. Use a foil-topped tray for a portion of the baking time. Once the lasagna has baked halfway through, remove the foil so the top can brown.
- Let lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Dorothy Jose says
I really want to make this recipe as it looks delicious, however I have a question. If I use half of the spices recommended (i.e. 2 tsp. oregano, 1 tsp. dried thyme, 1 tsp. salt) in step 6, when do I use the other half of the spices? Maybe I’m just overlooking when to use the remaining 1 tsp. oregano, 1/2 tsp. thyme and 1/2 tsp salt. Please advise. Thanks.
Becky Hardin says
The other half goes into the cheese mixture!
Julie Webster says
On Dorothy Jose comment I agree with her .
1/2 the spices are used in point 6 , which is the cheese mix but not mentioned in any other point.
Are they to be put on the chicken as it is in the oven ??
JT says
I purchased the ingredients, except I forgot the ricotta, but I have cottage cheese. I think it’s a good substitute?
