30 mins prepServes 8
This Chicken Alfredo Lasagna is a creamy, cheesy twist on the classic, made with layers of tender chicken, spinach, Alfredo sauce, and melty mozzarella.
0 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the lasagna sheets per the package instructions. You can add a drop of oil to the water to prevent them from sticking together.
1 Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over chicken breasts and massage into both sides of the meat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with seasoning salt, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and black pepper.
2 In a large skillet over medium high heat add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and then throw in the chicken breast. Allow the chicken to sear for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Once fully cooked, remove them from the skillet and cut into tiny pieces.
3 In the same skillet over low heat, leaving the browned bits in the bottom of the pan, add the butter. Once the butter is melted add in the all-purpose flour and whisk together until all the clumps are gone. Continue cooking the roux for 2-3 minutes then add in the heavy whipping cream and whisk together while it comes to a simmer.
4 Once the mixture comes to a simmer, add in the shredded parmesan cheese, diced chicken and spinach. Stir together while allowing the spinach to wilt, then turn off the heat.
5 In a small mixing bowl whisk one egg and mix in the ricotta cheese and ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Set it to the side for now.
6 In a 9x13 casserole dish, add a small amount of alfredo sauce to the bottom of the dish and spread it out evenly. Then place 3-4 lasagna sheets in the bottom of the baking dish. Top the lasagna sheets with a thin layer of ricotta cheese mixture followed by a thin layer of the chicken spinach alfredo sauce. Repeat this step 2 more times until all the lasagna sheets are gone.
7 Top the lasagna with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese then cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. To achieve a golden brown top, remove the foil and broil on high for 2–3 minutes. Allow the lasagna to cool for 10-15 minutes to set up then serve and enjoy!
