Mushroom Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Recipe

When it comes to comfort food, lasagna reigns supreme, offering a decadent embrace of rich, cheesy warmth. But let’s take it up a notch, shall we? Picture tender chicken, earthy mushrooms sautéed to perfection, and Alfredo sauce so luscious it could make even the most disciplined dieter weak in the knees. This Mushroom Chicken Alfredo Lasagna is a culinary symphony of indulgence, ideal for cozy dinners or as the pièce de résistance at your next gathering.

Ingredients

For the Lasagna:

  • 9-12 mini lasagna noodles (oven-ready)

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)

  • 2 cups mushrooms (sliced)

  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Homemade Alfredo Sauce (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce (if making homemade):

    • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, watching as it transforms into liquid gold. Add the heavy cream and let it gently simmer, the air filling with the promise of something delicious. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and velvety. Set it aside like a treasure waiting to be uncovered.

  2. Sauté the Mushrooms:

    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and let it release its intoxicating aroma. Toss in the mushrooms, letting them sizzle and brown, soaking up the flavors as they become tender. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Assemble the Lasagna:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce at the bottom of your baking dish, like an artist priming a canvas. Layer 3-4 mini lasagna noodles over the sauce, then cover them with half the cooked chicken, half the sautéed mushrooms, and a third of the remaining Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese.

    • Repeat this glorious layering process: noodles, remaining chicken, remaining mushrooms, more Alfredo sauce, and another cheesy cascade of mozzarella.

    • Top it all off with one final layer of noodles, the remaining Alfredo sauce, and a heavenly blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

  4. Bake:

    • Cover the baking dish with aluminium foil, locking in the warmth. Bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and turns a beautiful golden hue.

  5. Serve:

    • Allow the lasagna to cool slightly, resisting the temptation to dive in immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Each bite is a comforting, cheesy masterpiece.
