Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s your grocery list—and good news, most of it might already be in your fridge:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup onion, chopped
10 ounces fresh baby spinach
4 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
15 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Step-by-Step: How to Make Alfredo Chicken Lasagna

Sauté the Flavor Base
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter, garlic, and chopped onion. Cook until the onions are soft and fragrant—like, stop-and-sniff-it good.
Add the Greens
Toss in the baby spinach and stir until it’s wilted but still vibrant. Think spa-day, not mushy.
Build the Creamy Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream, stir in parmesan, ricotta, pepper, and salt. Add your shredded chicken and bring to a gentle simmer. Then remove from heat (and maybe sneak a taste—chef’s privilege).
Layer the Love
In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a spoonful of the chicken alfredo mixture. Layer 5 noodles on top. Spoon over more sauce, sprinkle a third of the mozzarella. Repeat until you’ve built three cheesy layers, ending with mozzarella on top.
Bake & Broil
Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes. Uncover and broil for 2–3 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest for 10–15 minutes (the hardest part!) before slicing.

Tips for the Perfect Alfredo Chicken Lasagna

Don’t overcook the noodles—you want them firm enough to hold their structure.
Use fresh parmesan if possible. It melts smoother and packs more punch.
Add a dash of nutmeg to the sauce for an extra layer of warmth.
Let it rest before slicing. I know, patience isn’t easy—but it pays off with picture-perfect layers.
