Ingredients
– 9 lasagna noodles
– 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
– 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. **Preheat and Prepare**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. **Cook Lasagna Noodles**: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. **Prepare Chicken**: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until heated through.
4. **Assemble the Layers**: Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the chicken evenly over the noodles, followed by half of the ricotta cheese, half of the remaining Alfredo sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with Alfredo sauce and shredded cheese.
5. **Bake**: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
6. **Serve and Enjoy**: Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm and revel in each cheesy, creamy bite.
