Crock Pot White Lasagna (+Video)
Crock Pot White Lasagna is the most easy and amazing recipe! No-cook noodles, chicken, alfredo sauce, garlic and mozzarella cheese!
A CREAMY CHICKEN ALFREDO LASAGNA
Sometimes my pictures just don’t do justice to how amazing a recipe truly is. And that is totally my fault – not the fault of the food! This is one of those dishes. It’s really difficult to photograph an all-white dish. But no matter, because once you try this dish, you will be in love. It really is that good!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
White lasagna is a type of lasagna that is made with white sauce, such as béchamel or Alfredo sauce, instead of tomato sauce and it usually has chicken in it instead of ground beef or sausage.
White lasagna can be served with a variety of sides, such as a salad, garlic bread, or perhaps some Italian green beans. If you are a wine drinker, try serving it with a white wine, such as a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.
You can use any pre-cooked chicken. Tyson makes cooked chicken pieces you can find in the refrigerated section. Or you could boil up some chicken or roast a couple of chicken breasts or thighs. You’ll need 2 1/2 cups of chopped chicken.
For this recipe, I only use the oven ready lasagna noodles. No boiling required! However, if only have the kind you have to boil, then you can certainly use those. Just don’t add the additional water that is in this recipe. Also, it will cook a little quicker so you’ll have to keep an eye on it.
Yes, white lasagna can be frozen after it has been cooked. Allow it to cool completely, put it in a freezer safe container then wrap it well in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, place the lasagna in the refrigerator for 24 hours or until it is fully thawed. Reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- rotisserie chicken
- shredded Italian cheese blend
- ricotta cheese
- alfredo sauce
- water
- Italian seasoning
- garlic
- lasagna noodles
- mozzarella cheese
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT WHITE LASAGNA:
In a bowl combine Italian cheese blend with ricotta cheese. Mixture will be thick.
Finally, in a third bowl, combine both jars of alfredo sauce with water, Italian seasoning and garlic. Whisk until combined.
Now, time to assemble the lasagna layers. Spread 1/4 of the alfredo sauce into the bottom of a 5-6 quart slow cooker.
Arrange 3-4 lasagna noodles on top of the alfredo sauce (break noodles to fit.) It’s okay if some of the noodles are slightly layered on top of each other.
Spread 1/3 of the chicken on top of lasagna noodles.
Then spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top of the chicken. I just take a spoon and dot it all around.
Repeat these three same steps two more times (alfredo sauce, noodles, chicken, cheese mixture.) Try to make sure the alfredo sauce covers to the edge of the noodles. This will help the noodles cook properly. Finally, top with shredded mozzarella cheese and dried parsley (optional)
Cover and cook on low for 2 1/2-3 hours (or until noodles are tender.)
Cook’s Notes: Slow cookers are not all the same so my advice is to check your lasagna after 2 1/2 hours then keep an eye on it after that point. Keep an eye on the edges so they don’t get too dark. This isn’t really a set-it and totally forget-it type crock pot meal.

Notes
- I think rotisserie chicken is the easiest to use in this recipe and it adds extra flavor. You can, however, use any leftover chicken you have or you can roast or boil some chicken breasts.
- This recipe works great in those rectangle casserole slow cookers.

No leftovers! Thank you! Ages 13 to 85 pleased even the picky eaters. I used a family size garlic rotisserie chicken from Walmart, breast meat. Served chocolate spoon cake for dessert! No hot kitchen here, dual crock pot dinner. ❤️ Go-to for carry ins. Taco lasagna is a great one too!
Thank you so very much Lee! I really appreciate you taking the time to come back and leave a review!
Can you add broccoli to this chicken alfredo lasagna? Would you leave it uncooked or steam the broccoli first? Thanks in advance.
I made this last night, and it was sooo good. The whole family loved it.I will be putting this in my menu rotation.
Thank you for a great crock pot comfort food recipe.
I’ll be making your crockpot mississippi pot roast tonight. Totally looking forward to it.
Can you use cottage cheese in place of ricotta?
can you make this in the oven
Hi Christy! Yes, you sure could. I haven’t tested it though so you’ll need to guess on how long to cook it for. Also, since it’s not going into the crock pot, you’ll need to cook the lasagna noodles first or use oven ready noodles. 🙂
Okay, I made this over the weekend and it was absolutely amazing! It’s easy to put together and would definitely be something I could serve company. Leftovers microwaved wonderfully as well.
This looks like such a delicious recipe. I am getting the ingredients for this to make this week! And, I love that Crock Pot.
Thanks so much Julie! Hope you love it!!
Can I make my own Alfredo sauce? Don’t like store bought.
Of course!
hello Brandie, I,m Inge . I like to let you know the cooking time on your ” crock pot chicken alfredo lasagna” is a bit incorrect ( cook time 4 min. total time 19 min. ) sorry to point it out.
I DO love your recipes. thank you so much.
Made tonight. To much cheese for me.
Made this tonight and my family loved it. We all love chicken Alfredo,, so I just had to try it. Easy re pie and took about 3-3 1/2 hours. In the casserole crockpot. (First time I’ve used it). Thanks for a great recipe!!!
I would like to make this for a carry-in at school but wanting it to be more of a casserole. Do you think I could use rigatoni or ziti noodles instead of lasagna noodles?
Can not wait to try this! My daughter (11yrs old) has developed an allergy to all things Tomato. Which is really sad because she loves them so much. She used to eat them for breakfast even! I did not realize how much, or often we used tomato products until we had to stop using them. Oh and in July, she announced she was now vegetarian. Instead of chicken, I am going to toss a bunch of veggies in it. Already thinking of mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, maybe asparagus or artichoke hearts. Really excited! Thank you!!!
I just came across your recipe on Pinterest. I had no idea you could make lasagna in a crockpot! I never even saw a crockpot like yours! I’m going to try this recipe because my 27 year old oven finally broke & it really limits what I can make for dinner! Thank you!
What happen to the pecan pound cake?
and NOW I want a big crock pot like that! LOVE!
Hahaha! It comes in handy for these casserole type dishes!
This looks so fantastic. My youngest son loves lasagna….and we've never had a white one before-he'll flip! Making this soon. And on another note, that crockpot is amazing..must buy one of those soon too!!!!!
This looks delicious.. The picture is appealing even with the all white background.. Time to order that crack pot. My husband loves chicken alfredo
Where do you find a square slow cooker? Also, I made this – it was SO good!!
Walmart, Kohls
was the noodles you placed in the slow cooker already cooked or do you put them in dry?
Also can you make this in the regular over instead of a crock pot?
I will make this and I ordered that crock pot too!!!
Ha! I love it! You will really enjoy it! And I hope you love this recipe too!
Great idea! I've made regular lasagna in the crock pot but never thought about chicken and alfredo. Thanks for sharing.
It's SO hard to take a pretty picture of something with so much white – ha! But I promise – this is really so, so good!
Do you use plain lasagna noodles or the ones that are easier to use in dishes like this? Sorry, I can't remember what you call the noodles so I hope you know what I mean! :0)
It's ok Pam! Are you referring to the oven-ready lasagna noodles? You do not need oven-ready noodles for this. However, if that's all you have, they will be fine. But I just used the regular kind here. 🙂
I really need to get one of those crock pots!! This looks delicious and I know it would be a hit here as well!
It works really well for all kinds of recipes. Stuffed peppers or any kind of casserole. I really do enjoy it!
