Description

A rich and creamy twist on classic lasagna, made with layers of shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, and gooey cheese.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Alfredo Sauce:
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional, for depth of flavor)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (for extra creaminess)
  • For the Lasagna Layers:
  • 9 lasagna noodles (regular or oven-ready)
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • 1. Cook the Lasagna Noodles (If Using Regular Noodles):
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
  • Drain and set aside, laying them flat to prevent sticking.
  • 2. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until smooth.
  • 3. Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:
  • In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  • 4. Assemble the Lasagna:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  • Add a layer of lasagna noodles, then spread ⅓ of the ricotta mixture over them.
  • Add ⅓ of the shredded chicken and ⅓ cup of mozzarella cheese. Pour some Alfredo sauce over the layer.
  • Repeat the layers twice more, ending with noodles and Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle the top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • 5. Bake & Serve:
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve!

Notes

  • :
  • Want a shortcut? Use store-bought Alfredo sauce instead of making it from scratch.
  • Make it lighter: Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Add veggies: Spinach or mushrooms make a great addition to the layers.
