Description
A rich and creamy Mushroom Chicken Alfredo Lasagna made with layers of tender chicken, sautéed mushrooms, cheesy ricotta filling, and Alfredo sauce, perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound white mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce (jarred or homemade)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent.
- Add mushrooms and cook until soft and browned. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix Alfredo sauce and cooked chicken.
- In another bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Spread a thin layer of chicken Alfredo sauce in the baking dish. Lay down 3 lasagna noodles.
- Spread half the ricotta mixture over noodles, then half the mushroom mixture, and about 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat with another layer of noodles, ricotta, mushrooms, and mozzarella.
- Top with final layer of noodles, remaining chicken Alfredo sauce, remaining mozzarella, and remaining Parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep time.
- Letting the lasagna rest helps the layers set for cleaner slices.
- Homemade Alfredo sauce can enhance the flavor if preferred over jarred.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
