Ingredients
9 lasagna noodles
2 tbsp olive oil
2 lbs chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken and Alfredo sauce. Stir until the chicken is well coated.
- Begin assembling the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of the Alfredo chicken mixture on the bottom of the baking dish. Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the chicken Alfredo mixture, and then sprinkle with a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients: noodles, ricotta mixture, chicken Alfredo mixture, and cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can substitute ricotta cheese with cottage cheese.
- Feel free to add vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the chicken Alfredo mixture for extra flavor.
- If you're making this in advance, increase the baking time by 10 minutes if the lasagna is cold from the fridge.
- This lasagna can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free lasagna noodles.
