Ingredients
  

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
  • 3 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, one egg, half the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and fresh parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Toss your diced chicken with salt, pepper, and a splash of alfredo sauce to prevent dry chicken and ensure every piece is flavorful.
  4. Spread one cup of alfredo sauce across the bottom of your prepared dish. Layer four noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the chicken, and one-third of the remaining mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with noodles topped with remaining alfredo sauce and cheeses.
  5. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is golden and edges are bubbling. Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Cook the chicken and boil noodles the night before to cut prep time in half. Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting to allow layers to set properly. Can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months. Budget-friendly substitutions include using rotisserie chicken, cottage cheese instead of ricotta, or adding frozen spinach.
