Fettuccine Alfredo is something the whole family can enjoy! It’s on the regular rotation and there was once a time when we ate it almost every week!

My kids being such fans of alfredo sauce, I knew we needed another option. And Chicken Alfredo Lasagna was born!

And let me tell you: it was a HUGE hit! With young kids and picky eaters, that was a giant win! Since then we have been eating this meal regularly!

This white lasagna is a hearty meal that is enough to feed a crowd! Yay for inviting company over!

Plus this white chicken lasagna is made with simple ingredients you can pick up from the regular grocery stores.

And this chicken alfredo lasagna recipe is also perfect for using up leftovers like turkey, chicken or tossing in a rotisserie chicken!

Can I Use Alfredo Sauce in Lasagna?

You can and should! While creamy alfredo sauce is typically associated with fettuccine noodles, there are so many other options!

Classic Italian foods like pasta, lasagna, pizza, etc. all taste better with a little alfredo sauce.

Here’s the other ingredients you’ll need for this non-traditional lasagna:

  • Lasagna Noodles: Use oven ready noodles so you don’t need to boil them and save yourself time.
  • White Alfredo Sauce: Any jar of alfredo sauce will work that you pick up from the store.
  • Milk: Any percentage will work to help create the lasagna sauce.
  • Oregano: Tastes great with the other Italian flavors.
  • Chicken: Any cooked chicken. Rotisserie is great for this one!
  • Red Bell Peppers: Optional if you want to swap in your own favorite veggie go ahead!
  • Onions: Fresh or dehydrated. If using dehydrated, rehydrate them first (instructions below.)
  • Garlic: Great for flavor and as an aromatic.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded mozzarella cheese is a perfect combination with alfredo sauce.
  • Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese or Ricotta Cheese will work. Whichever one you prefer.
  • Baby Spinach: Fresh spinach sneaks in extra veggies and tastes great too.

Pro Tips:

  • If you use classic lasagna noodles, be sure to cook noodles until al dente.
  • Uncooked lasagna noodles can go right into the lasagna if oven ready.
  • If desired you could also use homemade alfredo sauce with heavy cream and parmesan cheese instead.

How to Make Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

This delicious chicken alfredo lasagna recipe is a delicious twist on a classic lasagna recipe. Enjoy!

The full recipe instructions can be found at the bottom of the page. But here’s quick run down of how to make it.

  1. Make Lasagna Sauce: Combine alfredo sauce, milk and oregano to make the sauce mixture.
  2. Make Lasagna Filling: Filling mixture is chicken, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and cheeses.
  3. Lasagna Layers: Sauce, noodles, spinach, filling chicken mixture, and cheese. Repeat layers three times.
  4. Bake: Cover with foil to keep the lasagna from burning.

Pro Tips:

  • Don’t forget to end the last layer with a layer of cheese.
  • For best results, uncover the lasagna for the last little bit to slightly brown the top.

Can You Freeze Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Yes! Make this easy recipe and easily freeze it for later for your entire family to enjoy. Or double it and eat one now and save the other for later!

You can even freeze one for giving away to sick neighbors, friends with babies, or when company is coming over.

Frozen lasagna is one of those that tastes great when reheated too. Wrap the lasagna twice tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

Write Chicken Alfredo Lasagna, baking instructions, and the date on the baking dish wrapping. It will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How to Cook Frozen Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Pop that frozen unbaked lasagnas straight from the freezer to the oven for an easy delicious dinner.

It’s best if you’ve frozen the lasagna in a disposable aluminum tray because ceramic can break when heated too quickly from frozen.

Then bake in a preheated oven until heated through. The baking time will take longer than the unfrozen lasagna by about 20 minutes.

Be sure to keep the lasagna covered to prevent the cheesy layer from burning.

What to Serve with Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

The creamy chicken lasagna can be served as a complete meal on its own or with any of these easy side dishes.

How to Store Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

Any leftover chicken alfredo lasagna should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or tightly wrapped.

It will stay good in the fridge for up to 5 days and tastes great when reheated as leftovers.

You can even make the lasagna in advance, and cook it up the next day if you’re crunched for time.

Be sure to always keep it wrapped so it doesn’t dry out.

How to Reheat Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

If you only need to cook small portions of leftover lasagna, you can easily pop the lasagna in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds at a time until heated through.

I often do that for leftover lunches.

If you’re baking up a large portion of leftover lasagna, the oven will be the easiest way to reheat it.

Pop the entire casserole dish into the preheated oven and bake until warmed through.

Remember, it doesn’t need to be cooked again, just warmed all the way through.

Can Dogs Eat Chicken Alfredo Lasagna?

No, dogs cannot eat chicken alfredo lasagna in any form.

Wheat, dairy products, and similar items are actually really hard for a dog to digest and can cause an upset stomach.

But aromatics like garlic and onion, while delicious for us, are toxic for dogs.

If your dog eats any chicken alfredo lasagna, watch for any negative side effects and contact your vet if needed.
