Instructions:
1. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
2. Add Cream:
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Incorporate Parmesan Cheese:
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and set the Alfredo sauce aside.
4. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Assemble the Lasagna:
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, start layering your lasagna:
- Begin with a small amount of Alfredo sauce to coat the bottom.
- Place 3 cooked lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
- Spread half of the shredded chicken over the noodles.
- Pour a portion of the Alfredo sauce over the chicken.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
- Repeat these layers (noodles, chicken, sauce, cheeses) once more.
- Top with a final layer of 3 lasagna noodles, remaining Alfredo sauce, and a generous amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
6. Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning, and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
7. Uncover and Brown:
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the lasagna is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
8. Garnish and Serve:
- Let the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing.
