Why You’ll Love Chicken Alfredo Lasagna CupsRecipe

It’s a quick, fuss‑free way to enjoy lasagna flavors — no boiling noodles required.
The portion‑size cups are great for sharing, meal prep, or serving a crowd without over‑committing.
The creamy Alfredo sauce, soft cheese, and chicken make a comforting — but lighter — spin on traditional lasagna.
It’s easily adaptable: swap chicken for beef or turkey, adjust the cheese, or double the batch when cooking for more people.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Wonton wrappers
Ricotta cheese
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Cooked chicken breast, chopped
Alfredo sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Spray a 6‑cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Cook and chop the chicken breast (if not already cooked).
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, half of the shredded mozzarella, and the chopped cooked chicken.
Place one wonton wrapper into each muffin tin cup. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chicken‑cheese mixture into the wrapper.
Add about ½ tablespoon of Alfredo sauce on top of the filling.
Add another wonton wrapper, then another layer of filling and Alfredo sauce.
After the third wrapper and layer of filling, top each cup with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cups are golden and bubbly. If the wonton tips brown too quickly, cover the pan with foil for the remaining baking time.
Remove from oven, season with salt and pepper if desired, and let cool slightly before serving.

Servings and timing

Makes about 3 servings (roughly six “cups”, depending on how filled they are). Prep time is ~20 minutes, cook time ~20 minutes — total about 40 minutes.

Variations

Swap chicken for ground beef, turkey, or even a vegetarian filling (e.g. sautéed mushrooms or spinach) to change the flavor profile.
Use a homemade Alfredo sauce (cream, butter, Parmesan) instead of store-bought for richer flavor.
For a lighter version, use part-skim mozzarella and low-fat ricotta.
Make a double batch in a 12‑cup muffin tin if cooking for more people.

Storage/Reheating

Let the cups cool completely then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in an oven or toaster oven to help retain crispness — avoid microwaving if you want the wrapper edges to stay crunchy.

FAQs

How many lasagna cups does this recipe make?

This recipe yields about six lasagna cups — enough for roughly 3 servings (two cups per person).

Can I use regular lasagna noodles instead of wonton wrappers?

Yes — though the original recipe uses wonton wrappers for ease and to create “cup” shapes, you can try small cooked shells or cut lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and press them into muffin tins.

Can I assemble the cups ahead of time?

Yes — you can assemble the cups, cover, and refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake. Bake them just before serving for best texture.

How do I prevent the wonton wrappers from burning on top?

If you notice the edges getting too dark during baking, cover the muffin tin loosely with foil for the remaining bake time.

Can I replace store‑bought Alfredo sauce with homemade?

Certainly — homemade Alfredo sauce (butter, cream, Parmesan, and garlic) can add richer flavor and allow better control of salt, creaminess, and texture.

What can I substitute if I don’t have ricotta cheese?

You could try a mix of cream cheese and a small amount of grated Parmesan, or use cottage cheese (blended for smoothness) — though texture and flavor will vary.

Is it okay to use pre‑shredded mozzarella?

Yes — pre‑shredded mozzarella works fine. Just know that freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre‑shredded.

Can I add extra ingredients like vegetables?

Yes — feel free to add chopped cooked vegetables (e.g. spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers) to the chicken‑cheese filling for extra flavor, texture, and nutrition.

How do I store leftovers?

Store cooled lasagna cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can try freezing them — though texture of the wrappers may soften.

What’s the best way to reheat them?

Reheat in an oven or toaster oven to help the edges stay crisp. If using a microwave, wrappers may become soft — consider finishing with a quick bake to restore texture.
