White, saucy Slow Cooker 3 Cheese Chicken Lasagna made with ricotta, parmesan and cream cheese!
Technology. I lovehate it. So, sooooo much. Currently: hating. I just spent a substantial amount of time putting together this recipe post and then bam. The whole thing disappeared and just like that I had to start over. Reminds me of a few times I lost a couple fistfuls of hair over some lost school papers.
Actually now that I think about it, today’s experience wasn’t nearly as bad as those times I lost school papers. And suddenly I’m feeling a fresh surge of that I’m so glad I’m done with school emotion that comes on from time to time.
See it’s all about perspective. Now I’m in a much better mood.
Okay so this slow cooker recipe is one of my absolute favorites. And that’s saying something! Because seriously, have you seen my collection of slow cooker recipes?? I may or may not have a love affair with my crockpot. Spoiler alert: I do. I totally love my slow cooker and use it on the weekly. Maybe even bi or tri-weekly. (tri-weekly? is that a thing?)
I’ve mentioned before that I am not a big red sauce person, but I love white sauce pasta and that holds true for lasagna. Not a big fan of the ground beef red sauce version, but I looooooove a good white chicken lasagna. And now my favorite lasagna can happen in my beloved slow cooker!!! <—– three exclamation points. This is a big deal people. A very big deal.
What people are saying about this Slow Cooker Three Cheese Chicken Lasagna
“I made this for dinner, it was delicious. It got the thumbs up from my teenage daughter which is always a good thing. Next time I think I’ll add spinach.” – Cheryl
“The fact that you are not really a fan of red sauce made my heart sing and me immediately subscribe to your emails. I add cream to my spaghetti sauce and I get my pizza with light Pesto sauce or even better ranch instead of pizza sauce. I like tomatoes but I’m not a fan of tomato products and I hate ketchup. I’m so happy I was able to find a lasagna crockpot recipe without tomato sauce!!!” – Brittany
“My teenaged daughter & preteen son loved it! Wonderful flavor! We added extra sauce & baked our own chicken with the seasonings we liked.” – Renee

I made this for dinner, it was delicious. It got the thumbs up from my teenage daughter which is always a good thing. Next time I think I’ll add spinach. For the person who was concerned about the nutrional value I used lower fat ricotta and cream cheese to reduce the fat.
My teenaged daughter & preteen son loved it! Wonderful flavor! We added extra sauce & baked our own chicken with the seasonings we liked.

Either the ingredient list should have 12 noodles listed, or there is a step mIssing in the instructions. It is unclear what to do with the second half of the chIcken mixture, so i just guessed.
Hi Jay- you are correct about the number of noodles.. I have updated that part of the recipe. As far as the chicken mixture goes… it is correct. The first half goes with step 2 and the second half goes with step 3.
i made this for a lunch party and it was a hit! i made a red lasagna and needed a white one as well and this fit the bill. The only addition i made was to add spinach. i will definitely make again if i need a white lasagna recipe!
