Instructions

Step 1: Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Stir in heavy cream and garlic powder. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in shredded chicken and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, 1 cup mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan, and parsley.
Add the chicken mixture to the cheese blend and stir until combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread ⅓ of the chicken cheese mixture on the noodles.
Drizzle with a bit of Alfredo sauce.
Repeat layers two more times: noodles, chicken filling, Alfredo sauce.
Top with the final layer of noodles, remaining Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 4: Bake the Lasagna
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with garlic bread or a side salad.

Notes

Use Freshly Grated Cheese – It melts better and has superior flavor.
Don’t Overload the Layers – Spread evenly to ensure balanced bites.
Let It Rest – Resting before slicing helps the layers set.
Try Rotisserie Chicken – A convenient and flavorful shortcut.
Make It Creamier – Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra richness.
