Ingredients

Scale
  • Lasagna noodles
  • Chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or diced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup chopped spinach (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and a pinch of salt. Add chopped spinach if desired.
  5. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the shredded chicken, a layer of the cheese mixture, and more Alfredo sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with noodles topped with Alfredo sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
