Chicken Bacon & Ranch Lasagna is wonderfully creamy and cheesy with lots of smoky bacon flavor. Makes a wonderful family dinner and it is easy to make!
A super creamy and easy sauce is made from evaporated milk and cream cheese and flavored with 2 packets of Ranch seasoning. With the exception of the chicken, green onions, and cheese, this lasagna is made from shelf-stable ingredients.
This is a truly rich and indulgent lasagna so it’s best to cut very small slices and serve with a green salad or steamed broccoli. Lasagna is one of the ultimate comfort foods and this one does not disappoint.
For a lasagna, this Chicken Bacon & Ranch Lasagna is super easy to assemble. You can even assemble it well in advance and refrigerate it until you are ready to bake it.
For the chicken you can use rotisserie chicken or you can poach some chicken or cook some in your slow cooker.
If you wanted to add a few veggies to this lasagna, you could add a cup or two of chopped, steamed broccoli, some chopped spinach, or a cup of peas. They would all be great additions to this creamy lasagna.
Leftovers reheat well and will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
I like to add crushed red pepper flakes to give this lasagna a little kick, but you could leave them out.

I made this exact recipe and followed instructions very carefully. The evaporated milk, ranch powder, and cream cheese never did thicken even after being baked the entire time. What do you think went wrong? Very disappointing. Took total of 2 hrs for completion of meal.
