Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups Ricotta cheese
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until well blended.
Spread a thin layer of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping the edges.
Spread a third of the ricotta-mozzarella mixture evenly over the noodles. Top with a third of the shredded chicken, followed by a layer of Alfredo sauce.
Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta mixture, chicken, Alfredo sauce) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of Alfredo sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top layer.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
