Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
Hey, I’ve got something so good to share with you today, you’re seriously going to love it.
I made this Chicken Alfredo Lasagna the other day, and oh my gosh… it was one of those meals where I had to stop myself from going back for thirds. 😅
It’s creamy, cheesy, super comforting, and just feels like a warm hug on a plate. You know what I mean?
Now, I know lasagna sounds like a whole thing, but trust me—this one is different.
We’re skipping the red sauce and going full-on Alfredo style. It’s rich, full of flavor, and the chicken makes it hearty enough to fill everyone up.
And don’t worry, I’ll walk you through every step, nice and easy.
I thought of you while making it because it’s the kind of recipe you can whip up for a cozy dinner, a family get-together, or just because you want something really good.
If you love Alfredo anything (and I know you do), this is going to be your new favorite. Seriously.
So grab your ingredients and let’s make some magic in the kitchen together. You ready? Let’s get cooking something delicious. ❤️
How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna: (Step-by-Step)
Alright, now let’s roll up our sleeves and make some magic in the kitchen. I promise this will be easy and fun. Here’s how we do it:
Step 1: Gather your ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade—no judgment!)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional but cute)
Step 2: Cook the noodles
Boil your lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Don’t overcook them—we’re going for soft, not soggy.
Drain and set aside. Maybe give them a pep talk, they’ve got an important job.
Step 3: Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let it warm up while you layer up some greatness.
Step 4: Mix the chicken
In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a little Alfredo sauce (about ½ cup).
It’s like dressing the chicken for a party.
Step 5: Let’s start layering
Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish. Here’s how to layer:
- Spread a little Alfredo sauce on the bottom.
- Add 3 lasagna noodles.
- Add half the chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Repeat with sauce, noodles, chicken, and cheese.
- Top it off with the remaining noodles, more sauce, and a final cheesy shower.
Step 6: Bake that beauty
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Try not to eat it straight from the oven—I know it’s tempting.
Step 7: Let it rest
Give it 10 minutes to chill before slicing. This helps it set up, and your mouth won’t burn. Win-win.
Step 8: Serve and enjoy
Sprinkle on some parsley if you’re feeling fancy, slice it up, and dig in. And yes, seconds are allowed (and encouraged).
Common Mistakes to Avoid (So You Don’t Cry Over Lasagna)
Let’s keep it real—there are a few easy ways to mess this up in the kitchen. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back. Here’s what not to do:
Overcooking the noodles
Nobody likes mushy lasagna. Cook your noodles until just tender. They’ll keep cooking in the oven, so don’t let them get limp and sad.
Skipping the sauce on the bottom
If you forget to spread sauce first, your noodles will stick like a clingy ex. Always sauté the bottom of the dish!
Using dry chicken
Dry chicken ruins everything. Use rotisserie chicken or mix in a little Alfredo to keep it juicy. Trust me—your taste buds will thank you.
Not enough cheese
Girl… don’t skimp on the cheese. This is not the time to be shy. More cheese = more happiness. Period.
Slicing too soon
Cutting it straight out of the oven = cheesy soup. Let it rest for 10 minutes so it sets up nicely and neatly.
Avoid these, and you’ll be golden. Literally—like that perfect cheesy top layer.
Recipe Best Tips (a.k.a. My Secret Sauce)
Alright, here are my go-to tips to make sure your Chicken Alfredo Lasagna turns out amazing every single time:
Use rotisserie chicken: It’s juicy, flavorful, and saves you time. Honestly, it’s a total game-changer.
Don’t drown it in sauce: You want it creamy, not swimming. A light layer between each part is perfect. Save a little for the top to keep it pretty and moist.
Let it rest: I know, the smell is calling your name—but let it sit for 10 minutes after baking. It’ll slice cleaner and hold together way better.
Grate your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese has stuff added to keep it from clumping, and it doesn’t melt as smoothly. Grating your own makes a huge difference.
Make it ahead: You can assemble it the night before and bake it the next day. Perfect for when you’ve got guests coming or just want to chill after work.
Use these tips, and you’ll feel like a lasagna queen. 👑
Serving Suggestions for Your Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
Now that your lasagna is ready, here are a few ideas to make your meal even better:
A Side Salad
A crisp, fresh salad with a light vinaigrette works perfectly to cut through the richness of the lasagna. Try arugula, spinach, or mixed greens with a tangy lemon dressing.
Garlic Bread
You can’t go wrong with garlic bread. It’s the perfect carb companion to scoop up all that creamy sauce. Try a buttery, crispy version or even make your own at home!
Roasted Veggies
A side of roasted veggies like broccoli, zucchini, or carrots adds some color and balances the heaviness of the lasagna. Bonus: they’re easy to toss in the oven while your lasagna bakes.
A Glass of White Wine
If you’re in the mood for something a little extra, a glass of crisp white wine, like Chardonnay, pairs wonderfully with the creamy Alfredo.
A Sprinkle of Fresh Herbs
Finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil. It adds a pop of color and a burst of free.
Storage and Freezing: Keep That Lasagna Fresh!
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (or just want to prep ahead), here’s how to store and freeze your Chicken Alfredo Lasagna:
Storing in the fridge
Let the lasagna cool completely before storing. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the fridge.
It’ll stay fresh for about 3–4 days. When you’re ready to eat, just pop it in the microwave or bake it at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until warmed through.
Freezing for later
You can freeze this lasagna too! To freeze, let it cool completely, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil (you don’t want freezer burn).
It’ll stay good for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–40 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
A tip: Freezing individual slices is super convenient for quick lunches or dinners. Just wrap each piece separately and freeze. Easy peasy!
Enjoy your leftovers as much as the first round!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use regular lasagna noodles instead of no-boil?
Yes, you absolutely can! Just make sure to cook them al dente before layering them into the lasagna. No-boil noodles are super convenient, but regular ones work just as well.
Can I use store-bought Alfredo sauce?
Definitely! Store-bought Alfredo sauce is a huge time-saver, and it tastes great.
If you want to take it up a notch, try adding a pinch of garlic powder, a bit of Parmesan, or even some fresh herbs to make it your own.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the lasagna the day before, cover it tightly, and refrigerate.
When you’re ready to bake, just pop it in the oven. It might need an extra 10–15 minutes since it’ll be chilled, but no big deal!
Can I use something other than chicken?
Totally! You can swap the chicken for cooked ground beef, turkey, or even a veggie mix for a meatless version. The Alfredo sauce pairs well with almost anything.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes, you can! Use dairy-free Alfredo sauce, cheese alternatives, and even a dairy-free mozzarella. Just make sure to double-check all your ingredients to keep it dairy-free.
How can I make it spicier?
If you like a little heat, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the Alfredo sauce. You can also sprinkle some spicy sausage in with the chicken for an extra kick.
How do I know when the lasagna is done?
The lasagna is done when it’s golden on top, bubbly around the edges, and the cheese is melted.
If you’re unsure, use a knife to check the center—it should be hot all the way through. If it’s not, pop it back in for 5-10 more minutes.
