How To Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Ingredients

3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves minced garlic

10 ounces fresh baby spinach

4 cups of heavy cream

15 lasagna noodles (precooked or oven ready)

1 ½ tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated finely

15 ounces of ricotta cheese

3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

Put 2 tbsp of unsalted butter in a skillet heated on medium high, add in the onion and garlic. Saute until translucent.

Add the spinach and stir until the spinach wilts

Add the 4 cups of heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, the ricotta cheese and the chicken

When the cream comes to a slight simmering stage, remove the pan from the heat, stir well and set to the side.

In the bottom of a sprayed 9 x 13 baking pan, spoon a layer of the sauce mix and top with a layer of the noodles, spread some filling mix on that and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.

Repeat Step 5 until you are out of the filling mix, or you can no longer add another layer in the pan.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350* oven for 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove the foil and let sit under the low broil setting for two minutes to brown the top cheese.

Enjoy!
