What Kind of Alfredo Sauce Should I Use?

Homemade Alfredo sauce is always a winner here. A combination of butter, cream, Parmesan cheese, and garlic gives this lasagna its luxurious texture and flavor.

Ingredients for the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Every ingredient in this lasagna plays an important role in building creamy, hearty, flavor-packed layers.

Lasagna Noodles: These form the sturdy structure for our lasagna. Cook them until al dente so they hold their shape when layered.
Chicken Breast: Use shredded cooked chicken for convenience. Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut.
Alfredo Sauce: This rich, creamy base ties everything together. Homemade or high-quality store-bought are both great choices.
Mozzarella Cheese: For stretchy, gooey layers of cheese that make this dish irresistible.
Parmesan Cheese: Adds depth, nuttiness, and sharpness to balance the creamy flavors.
Ricotta Cheese: Helps create a soft, velvety texture in the middle layers.
Egg: Mixed with ricotta to bind the layers and keep them firm.
Garlic: Adds fragrant, savory notes to the Alfredo sauce and chicken.
Spinach (optional): A handful of chopped spinach can be stirred into the ricotta for a boost of color and nutrition.
Parsley: Freshly chopped and sprinkled on top for garnish and a pop of freshness.

How To Make the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Step 1: Prepare the Noodles

Boil the lasagna noodles until just al dente. Drain and set aside on a tray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Make the Ricotta Mixture

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, one egg, a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional chopped spinach. Stir until well blended.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken (If Not Pre-Cooked)

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté in a skillet until fully cooked, then shred.

Step 4: Assemble the Layers

In a greased 9×13 baking dish, layer as follows:

A thin layer of Alfredo sauce
A layer of noodles
Ricotta mixture spread evenly
Shredded chicken
Alfredo sauce
Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese
Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 5: Bake

Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
