Ingredients:
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Lasagna noodles | 9, uncooked |
Alfredo sauce | 1 jar (15 oz.) |
Chicken broth | 1 cup |
Cooked, shredded chicken | 2 cups |
Ricotta cheese | 15 oz. |
Mozzarella cheese | 2 cups, shredded |
Parmesan cheese | 1 cup, grated |
Egg | 1 |
Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
Italian seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |

Instructions:
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, the egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set this cheese mixture aside.
- Prepare the Alfredo Sauce Mixture:
- In another bowl, combine the alfredo sauce and chicken broth to create a thinner, more spreadable sauce.
- Layer the Ingredients:
- Spoon a layer of the alfredo sauce mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place three uncooked lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, breaking them as necessary to fit into the slow cooker.
- Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles and add half of the shredded chicken on top of that.
- Repeat the layers, starting with the alfredo sauce mixture, then noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, and the remaining chicken. Finish with a layer of noodles and the remaining alfredo sauce mixture.
- Top and Cook:
- Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours until the noodles are tender.
- Rest and Serve:
- Once cooked, let the lasagna rest in the slow cooker for about 20 minutes before serving; this allows it to set and makes it easier to cut.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
