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
- Boil a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
- In another bowl, mix ricotta cheese with half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese until well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of the chicken Alfredo mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Place three lasagna noodles on top, evenly spaced.
- Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles.
- Add half of the remaining chicken Alfredo mixture on top of the ricotta layer.
- Repeat the layering: add three more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and the remaining chicken Alfredo mixture.
- Top with the last three noodles and spread any remaining Alfredo sauce over them. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it doesn’t touch the cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the lasagna sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve garnished with fresh parsley.

- For a creamier texture, consider adding cream cheese to the ricotta mixture.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Customize with vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition.
