Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients: For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 4 tbsp (60 g) butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480 ml) milk
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
For the Lasagna Layers:
- 9 lasagna noodles (cooked al dente)
- 3 cups (375 g) shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup (250 g) ricotta cheese
- 2 cups (200 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in flour, then whisk in milk and cream until smooth. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened. Add Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Toss shredded chicken with half of the Alfredo sauce to coat evenly.
- Assemble the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add 3 noodles, half the chicken mixture, ricotta, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with noodles, sauce, and cheese.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 more minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Rest and Serve: Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken: It’s quick, flavorful, and saves time.
- Don’t overcook noodles: Slightly firm pasta holds its shape best.
- Make ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate before baking.
- Freeze-friendly: Store baked lasagna for up to 3 months, thaw overnight before reheating.
- Serving idea: Pair with garlic bread or a light salad for a balanced meal.
