• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Tools You’ll Need

• Large pot for noodles
• Medium saucepan
• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Noodles

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente.
3. Drain and lay noodles flat on parchment paper or drizzle lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
4. If using oven-ready noodles, skip this step.

Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
4. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and milk until smooth.
5. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 4–5 minutes.
6. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
7. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Spread ½ cup Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Add a layer of noodles (about 3), then spread ⅓ of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
4. Top with 1 cup shredded chicken and ½ cup Alfredo sauce.
5. Sprinkle with ½ cup mozzarella.
6. Repeat the layers two more times (noodles, ricotta, chicken, sauce, mozzarella).
7. Finish with a final layer of noodles, remaining Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan.

Step 5: Bake the Lasagna

1. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
2. Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
3. Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing to help it set.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

1. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color.
2. Serve hot with garlic bread and a green salad.

Tips for the Best Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
Use Freshly Grated Cheese – It melts better and gives richer flavor.
Cook Sauce Low & Slow – Helps prevent curdling and keeps it silky.
Shred Chicken Finely – Even layers of chicken create better texture.
Don’t Skip Resting – This allows the layers to hold their shape when sliced.
Customize It – Add spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli between layers.

Serving Suggestions
Garlic Breadsticks – Perfect for mopping up extra sauce.
Steamed Green Beans or Asparagus – Light veggies balance the richness.
Caesar Salad – Crisp romaine and creamy dressing are a classic pairing.
Glass of Sparkling Water or Lemonade – Refreshing alongside a creamy dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use store-bought Alfredo sauce?

2. What kind of chicken works best?
Rotisserie chicken, poached chicken breasts, or leftover roasted chicken all work well.
