Ingredients

Chicken is the star of this dish, providing juicy, tender bites that pair beautifully with the creamy sauce. Alfredo sauce brings that signature richness and velvety texture that makes every forkful indulgent. Lasagna noodles hold everything together in perfectly layered harmony, absorbing just enough sauce to stay soft without falling apart. Mozzarella cheese melts into gooey perfection, while Parmesan adds a salty, nutty depth to every layer. Ricotta cheese brings a creamy tang that balances the richness. A sprinkle of Italian seasoning and a hint of garlic powder give this lasagna its unmistakable savory aroma.

How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Start by cooking and shredding the chicken. You can roast or poach your chicken breasts ahead of time and shred them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Cook the Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Mix the Cheese Filling

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the Parmesan, some of the Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4: Assemble the Layers

In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom. Place a layer of noodles over the sauce, followed by a layer of chicken, a layer of ricotta mixture, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and a drizzle of more Alfredo sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with noodles, Alfredo sauce, and a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan.

Step 5: Bake

Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let it rest a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

If you’d like to change things up, there are plenty of ways to make this recipe your own. Swap out the chicken for turkey or even cooked shrimp for a seafood twist. You can also use a spinach and mushroom filling if you prefer a vegetarian version. For a lighter dish, try using part-skim cheeses and a homemade light Alfredo sauce. Gluten-free lasagna noodles work perfectly if you need a gluten-free option.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

I love serving this Chicken Alfredo Lasagna with a crisp green salad and warm garlic bread. The freshness of a simple salad balances the richness of the lasagna beautifully. You can also add roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus for extra color and nutrition. A glass of chilled white wine, like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, complements the creamy flavors nicely.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, tightly covered. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through, or microwave individual portions. You can also freeze this lasagna: wrap tightly in plastic and foil, and store for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking as directed.
