Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Sometimes classic recipes are best and sometimes new takes on those old recipes seem to be even more popular. So, this twist on chicken alfredo depends on your palate. It pairs creamy alfredo and ever-popular chicken with lasagna, and the result is pretty good! Have you ever wondered whether to order alfredo or lasagna? If so, you’re not alone.

There’s a reason these two Italian classics are so good, and that’s because they’re both delicious.

But now you don’t have to choose when you can blend both dishes into one fantastic meal. Not only that, but it also keeps for days, reheats beautifully and you can even freeze this dish in portions, so you might want to work on a double, or even triple, batch!

Take this piping hot Italian feast out of the oven, add grated parmesan, black pepper and perhaps even some chopped fresh herbs. Then… buon appetito (as they say in Italy!)

Plus, it’ll make your house smell amazing.

How to make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and prepare a 9×13 baking dish.

Step 3. Toss in the spinach, and saute until wilted. 

Step 4. Mix the garlic into the skillet, and saute for 30 seconds. 

Step 4. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the skillet, and bring to a low boil. 

Step 5. Stir in the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, chicken, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce has thickened. 

Step 6. Layer some sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. 

Step 7. Add a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. 

Step 8. Place more sauce on the noodles, and sprinkle with some of the mozzarella cheese.
