Spinach and Mushroom Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups Alfredo sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken with 1 cup of Alfredo sauce.
- Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
- Spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the spinach and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers with 3 lasagna noodles, the remaining chicken mixture, the remaining spinach and mushroom mixture, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
- Top with the remaining 3 lasagna noodles and spread the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
