A delicious cheesy chicken lasagna that’s easy to make and perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 lasagna noodles (uncooked)
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded and divided)
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups parmesan cheese (grated)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, add some salt and your lasagna noodles. Cook just until al dente according to the package directions. Drain your noodles and drizzle a little oil over the top to prevent them from sticking.
- In a large bowl, add the cottage cheese, eggs, 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese and chicken, and mix until combined. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add the butter. Once butter is melted, add in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes and whisk until combined. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.
- Reduce the heat and whisk in the parmesan cheese.
- Spread 1 cup of sauce into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Place a lasagna noodle on a cutting board and add a heaping 1/3 cup of filling down the noodle. Roll up the noodle and place it into the prepared baking dish. Repeat until done.
- Spoon the rest of the alfredo over the top of the rolled noodles and add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes and serve.
