How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna?

Boil the lasagna sheets

For best timing and flexibility, boil the lasagna sheets according to package directions until al dente but not cooked. To avoid sticking together, keep them separate.

Prepare the chicken.

To infuse the chicken with flavor, marinate it in spices and olive oil. Apply the spice to the chicken for about a minute, ensuring it receives an even coating on both sides. Heat a cast-iron skillet or your choice of nonstick pan on medium-high. Cook for roughly 4-6 minutes per side. To check for doneness, cut a tender in half at its thickest point. If there is no pink tint on the chicken, it is fully cooked and ready to serve. Allow the chicken to rest on a chopping board for five minutes. Next, chop it into little parts. Use the chicken’s natural juices on the cutting board to coat the chunks, ensuring they retain all of their wonderful essence.

Prepare the spinach Alfredo sauce

Allow the chicken to rest on a chopping board for five minutes. Next, chop it into little parts. Use the chicken’s natural juices on the cutting board to coat the chunks, ensuring they retain all of their wonderful essence. Let’s start creating the sauce! I have to say that this spinach Alfredo sauce is very delicious; I’m very proud of it. It pairs well with chicken, vegetables, steak, and pasta! To ensure a seamless process, have all of your ingredients prepared and ready to go before beginning. Begin by melting the butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it’s tender and transparent. Then, sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic and no longer raw. Add all of the ingredients and simmer for an additional minute. Next, toast the flour for 1-2 minutes before slowly adding the milk and cream. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for a few minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture has thickened into a sauce consistency. Be careful not to let it get too thick, as it will continue to cook in the oven. Once you’ve reached the proper consistency, remove the pan from the heat and mix in the spinach. Taste the sauce and season it to your satisfaction.

Assembling the lasagna

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F, using the standard setting on the bottom burner only. Get a 9×13″ baking dish, preferably glass or ceramic. Begin by spreading a thin layer of Alfredo sauce across the bottom. Then, arrange the lasagna sheets in a single layer (approximately three sheets should be enough, but smaller strips may be required to fill any gaps). Add a liberal amount of sauce, roughly one-third of the chopped chicken, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. I recommend using around ¾ cup of mozzarella cheese per layer, but feel free to modify it to suit your preferences. Now, repeat the process to make three layers of lasagna, sauce, chicken, and cheese. For the final layer, place the lasagna sheets (if your dish tapers, you may need more strips for the top layer than the bottom), then add the leftover sauce and a large amount of mozzarella cheese. I usually add about 1 cup of cheese for the final layer. Bake the dish until the cheese is brown and bubbling, which should take around 25–30 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Alfredo Lasagna!

BAKE THE LASAGNA

Insert 6–8 toothpicks or skewers into the lasagna at various spots, keeping them about the same height as the pan. These will act as supports, keeping the foil from touching the lasagna and clinging to the cheese while baking. Cover the pan with foil and place it in the oven. While many recipes recommend baking lasagna for more than 45 minutes, I believe it is unnecessary. Instead, bake for 40 minutes before switching to broil mode (or turning on the top burner) for 2–3 minutes to melt and lightly brown the cheese on top.

Serve and enjoy.

When the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna has finished baking, carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Slice into generous slices, and serve with a crisp green salad or garlic toast to complete the meal. As you take your first bite, enjoy the creamy richness of the Alfredo sauce, the soft bits of seasoned chicken, and the gooey melted cheese. Each forkful is a symphony of flavors and textures that will undoubtedly satisfy your taste buds. Whether it’s a nice family supper or a spectacular gathering with friends, this Chicken Alfredo Lasagna will please everyone. So gather around the table, swap tales, and savor this cozy and wonderful food. Serve, savor, and enjoy every delicious taste of this handcrafted masterpiece!
