Why You’ll Love This Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

This lasagna is a dreamy mashup of your favorite Italian pasta dish and creamy Alfredo comfort. It’s:

• Ultra creamy and rich without being heavy
• Packed with protein from the chicken
• A delicious twist on classic red-sauce lasagna
• Perfect for make-ahead dinners or meal prep
• Kid-approved and freezer-friendly

What Kind of Alfredo Sauce Should I Use?

For the most luxurious texture and flavor, homemade Alfredo is the way to go. It’s quick and requires only butter, cream, garlic, and Parmesan. But if you’re short on time, a good-quality jarred Alfredo sauce will still yield delicious results. Just aim for one with minimal preservatives and a creamy consistency.

Ingredients for the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Lasagna Noodles: Use oven-ready lasagna noodles to simplify layering and cut down on prep time.

Cooked Chicken: Shredded rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken brings a savory heartiness to the layers.

Alfredo Sauce: Homemade or store-bought, this creamy sauce is the backbone of flavor in every bite.

Ricotta Cheese: Adds smooth, creamy texture and mild flavor that balances the richness of the Alfredo.

Mozzarella Cheese: Melts into gooey perfection and gives that signature cheesy pull.

Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan adds a nutty sharpness that elevates the overall flavor.

Spinach: A touch of chopped fresh or frozen spinach adds earthiness and color without overpowering.

Egg: Helps bind the ricotta mixture, so your layers stay put when sliced.

Garlic and Italian Seasoning: Essential for building flavor in both the sauce and the filling.

Fresh Parsley: Optional, but adds a bright finishing touch for presentation.

How To Make the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Step 1: Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese with one beaten egg, chopped spinach, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 2 cups heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Lower heat and add 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the shredded chicken (about 1 1/3 cups), 1/2 cup mozzarella, and 3/4 cup Alfredo sauce. Repeat for two more layers.

Finish with a final layer of noodles, remaining Alfredo sauce, and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.

Step 4: Bake the Lasagna

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use no-boil noodles?
Yes! Oven-ready noodles work beautifully and save time. Just ensure your sauce covers all the edges so they cook evenly.

Rotisserie chicken is ideal for its flavor and tenderness. You can also poach or bake chicken breasts and shred them yourself.

Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely. Omit the chicken and add more spinach or roasted veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or artichokes.

How do I avoid runny lasagna?
Let it rest after baking so the layers can set. Also, avoid overly watery spinach and don’t skimp on baking time.
