Creamy Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Recipe for Comfort Dinners

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gather your ingredients.
  2. Make the Alfredo base: melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds, then whisk in heavy cream and simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened. Stir in half the Parmesan cheese and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  3. Prepare the chicken and greens: fold the shredded chicken into the sauce with the chopped spinach. If needed, add a splash of cream to keep it moist and wilt the spinach.
  4. Assemble the first layer: spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, then a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture, then dollop ricotta or cottage cheese and sprinkle mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce on top and the remaining Parmesan.
  5. Bake covered for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake 10–15 minutes more until bubbling and lightly browned. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve with a finishing touch of chopped parsley or basil and a crack of black pepper.
  7. Pro tip: for extra sauciness at the edges, pour a little more Alfredo sauce around the pan before baking.

Notes
