Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 2 jars Alfredo sauce
- 4 cups fresh spinach (washed and chopped)
Cheese:
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F, ensuring an even cooking environment.
- Cook lasagna noodles following package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Create a flavorful chicken Alfredo blend by combining shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread a thin base layer of the chicken Alfredo mixture to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the first layer of lasagna noodles across the bottom of the dish, covering the initial sauce layer completely.
- Distribute chopped spinach evenly over the noodles, creating a vibrant green base for the next layer.
- Generously spread the chicken Alfredo mixture over the spinach, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to add richness and texture.
- Repeat the layering process of noodles, spinach, chicken Alfredo mixture, and cheese until ingredients are depleted.
- Ensure the final layer consists of the chicken Alfredo mixture topped with a generous amount of cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap moisture and prevent excessive browning.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 25 minutes until the cheese turns golden and bubbles.
- Allow the lasagna to rest for 5-10 minutes after removing from the oven, which helps set the layers and makes cutting easier.
- Slice into portions and serve while warm, enjoying the creamy, cheesy layers.
Notes
- Swap traditional lasagna noodles with zucchini strips for a low-carb, gluten-free alternative that adds fresh vegetable nutrition.
- Enhance protein content by mixing shredded rotisserie chicken with Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and lean protein boost.
- Incorporate fresh herbs like basil or parsley into the Alfredo mixture to elevate flavor complexity and add vibrant green color.
- Allow lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to help layers set and make cutting and serving easier without falling apart.
