Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

 I'm posting this specifically for my dad who liked this lasagna a lot!  This recipe comes from the All Recipes cooking website where it was shared by a Sybil Gregory. . . Kudos to this chef.  She did an amazing job creating this recipe.  It's delicious!

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
3 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, diced or shredded
32 ounces Alfredo Sauce
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 pints ricotta cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. 
  2. Cook spinach according to package directions; drain.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine chicken and one jar of alfredo sauce, stir together. 
  4. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta and drained, cooked spinach, and stir.
  5. In a 9 x 13 baking dish, place one layer of lasagna noodles, edges overlapping. Pour chicken and alfredo sauce mixture over noodle layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella over chicken mixture. Top with another layer of noodles. Spread spinach mixture evenly over noodles. Pour 1/2 of remaining jar of alfredo sauce over spinach mixture, spread evenly. Sprinkle another cup of mozzarella over sauce, lay on the final noodle layer and top with remaining 2 cups of mozzarella and salt and pepper to taste. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until top is brown and bubbly. 
 
Note: If I'm making a batch for a large crowd I'll make this in an even bigger pan and then do an extra layer or two of noodles and sauce and cheese which would mean you'd need an extra jar of sauce and more cheese!

  1. Oh thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking for a recipe for this forever. I think I'd also throw in some carrots to give it a little "color". Love you!
