Ingredients
Scale
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once the water is at a rolling boil, carefully add the lasagna noodles. Cook them according to the package instructions until they are al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the noodles and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
- In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the chicken Alfredo mixture on the bottom.
- Place three lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of the chicken Alfredo mixture.
- Sprinkle a third of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken layer.
- Repeat the layering process: add three more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, the remaining chicken Alfredo mixture, and another third of the mozzarella cheese.
- For the final layer, place the last three noodles on top. Spread any remaining chicken Alfredo sauce over the noodles, and then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the rest of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure it doesn’t touch the cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, carefully remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the lasagna into squares.
- Serve each piece on a plate, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a layer of cream cheese to the ricotta mixture.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture for a spicy kick.
- Customize with vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
