- 12 gluten-free oven-ready lasagna noodles
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2½ cups chicken broth
- 1½ cups half and half
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 teaspoons dried garlic
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the dried garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and half and half, then bring to a gentle simmer (not a boil).
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
Spread more Alfredo sauce over the noodles.
Add a layer of shredded chicken.
Dollop ricotta cheese evenly across the chicken layer.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and a bit of additional Parmesan.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Bake covered for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
You can use regular lasagna noodles instead of oven-ready, just cook them according to package directions but slightly undercook them.
Store-bought Alfredo sauce can be used as a time-saver - use approximately 4 cups.
Rotisserie chicken is ideal for this recipe, but you can cook and shred chicken breasts if preferred.
For a make-ahead option, assemble the lasagna, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
