Chicken Alfredo Lasagna is a delicious twist on traditional lasagna, combining the rich and creamy Alfredo sauce with tender chicken and layers of pasta. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Whisk in the flour to create a roux, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream, making sure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens. Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to season the Alfredo sauce. Remove the saucepan from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup of the Alfredo sauce.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the Alfredo sauce in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top.
- Add half of the chicken mixture on the noodles, followed by a third of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of noodles and topping with the remaining cheese mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the lasagna is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the lasagna to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy your delicious Chicken Alfredo Lasagna!
