Why Make This Recipe
This Chicken and Broccoli Lasagna is a great twist on the classic lasagna. Instead of the usual beef and tomato sauce, it uses creamy chicken and fresh broccoli, which gives it a lighter and different taste. It’s perfect for people who love pasta but want something new.
It’s also very filling and great for the whole family. The layers of cheese, chicken, broccoli, and noodles make it rich and satisfying. You can make it ahead of time and bake it when you’re ready to eat, which is great for busy days.
This recipe is also a good way to get picky eaters to enjoy their vegetables. The broccoli blends well with the creamy sauce and cheesy layers, so even kids will ask for seconds.
