There’s an undeniable allure to pasta dishes that envelop you in their warmth and richness. And among these, lasagna stands as a timeless comfort favorite. But imagine fusing it with the creamy elegance of Chicken Alfredo. Enter the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna – a dish that’s not only a crowd-pleaser but also a sentimental favorite.
I fondly recall my days as a cash-strapped college student, when my roommate and I, aiming for a gourmet treat, stumbled upon this recipe. And oh, what a delightful discovery it was! The harmonious blend of succulent chicken, velvety Alfredo sauce, and perfectly baked lasagna layers was nothing short of a revelation. Today, it remains my go-to dish for special occasions, or simply when I want a slice of nostalgic indulgence.
Ingredients
1 lb. lasagna noodles
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
2 jars of premium Alfredo sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning blend
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups fresh spinach, rinsed and roughly chopped
Directions
Preparation: Warm your oven to 375°F.
Noodle Prep: Follow the lasagna noodle package instructions for cooking.
Chicken Alfredo Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Layering: Start by coating a 9×13 inch baking dish with a light layer of the chicken Alfredo mix. Lay lasagna noodles, then add a layer of fresh spinach. Layer generously with the chicken Alfredo blend, finishing with a sprinkle of both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Repeat: Continue this layering pattern until ingredients are exhausted. Ensure the final layer is the Alfredo mixture topped with cheese.
Baking: Shield the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for another 25 minutes or until the top is bubbly and has a golden hue.
Serving: Allow the lasagna to rest briefly before dishing out.
