Ingredients
Scale
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re feeling adventurous, try substituting the chicken with sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian twist, or add a pinch of nutmeg to the ricotta mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the chicken, a third of the mozzarella, and a third of the parmesan cheese.
- Pour a cup of Alfredo sauce over the layer, spreading it evenly.
- Repeat the layers: 3 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining chicken, another third of mozzarella, and parmesan.
- Top with the last 3 noodles, remaining Alfredo sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
As you layer the ingredients, remember the stories behind each element and let each layer tell a tale of tradition and love, just as I learned from my own family.
