Chicken Alfredo Lasagna replaces the usual tomato meat sauce with creamy Alfredo sauce and cooked chicken. A cottage cheese and Parmesan filling keeps the familiar layered-lasagna texture while giving the recipe a completely different flavor.
Ingredients
12 oven-ready lasagna noodles, or enough for a 9x13-inch baking dish
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 large eggs, beaten
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup mozzarella, cottage cheese, Parmesan, parsley, eggs, salt and pepper.
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Add a layer of lasagna noodles.
Spread part of the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.
Sprinkle with cooked chicken and spoon Alfredo sauce over the chicken.
Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used.
Finish with Alfredo sauce and the remaining mozzarella and additional Parmesan cheese.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for about 10-15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, the filling is hot and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Shortcut: Rotisserie chicken works well in this recipe. You can also use leftover baked or grilled chicken from another meal.
Kid Cooking Tip: Kids can mix the cheese filling, measure the cooked chicken and help assemble the lasagna layers. An adult should handle the hot oven and baking dish.
