Why You’ll Love This Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

This recipe is a fusion of everything we love: comfort, flavor, and simplicity. It brings the creamy richness of Alfredo and transforms it into a hearty bake that serves a crowd. Whether you’re looking to make something special for family night or need a make-ahead meal that tastes even better the next day, this lasagna delivers.

What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

This lasagna is pretty flexible when it comes to the chicken. Rotisserie chicken works great and saves time, especially if you’re pulling this together on a weeknight. You can also use poached, baked, or even leftover grilled chicken. Just make sure it’s shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces so it layers well with the noodles and sauce. If you want extra flavor, go for seasoned or roasted chicken breast.

Ingredients for the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

When it comes to Alfredo lasagna, a few key ingredients make all the difference. The balance of savory chicken, creamy sauce, and melty cheese is what turns this into an unforgettable dish.

• Lasagna noodles: These form the foundation of every layer. Cook them until al dente so they hold up well during baking.
• Shredded chicken: The star protein, it soaks up the sauce and keeps every bite hearty and satisfying.
• Alfredo sauce: Creamy, garlicky, and indulgent, this ties the whole dish together. You can use homemade or store-bought.
• Ricotta cheese: Adds creaminess and body to the middle layers. You can also substitute with cottage cheese for a lighter version.
• Mozzarella cheese: Provides the gooey, melty top that we all love in lasagna.
• Parmesan cheese: Adds sharpness and depth to the flavor, especially when sprinkled generously on top.
• Egg: Helps bind the ricotta and gives structure to the cheese layer.
• Fresh parsley or Italian seasoning: Optional, but adds brightness and an herby finish.

How To Make the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Step 1: Prep the Noodles

Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper to keep them from sticking.

Step 2: Make the Ricotta Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, half of the Parmesan, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

Start with a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. Lay down the first layer of noodles, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture, shredded chicken, more Alfredo sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with Alfredo and a generous amount of mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

How to Serve and Store Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

This lasagna feeds about 6 to 8 people, making it ideal for a family dinner or meal prepping for the week. To serve, use a sharp knife and spatula to scoop out thick, creamy squares. It pairs beautifully with a side salad and garlic bread.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze individual portions or the entire pan before baking. When you’re ready, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven until warmed through.
