3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or homemade)

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly golden.
Slowly whisk in milk and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
Simmer for 4–5 minutes, until sauce thickens.
Stir in parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Ricotta Filling
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning.
Mix until smooth and set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top, then 1 cup shredded chicken.
Drizzle Alfredo sauce over chicken, then sprinkle with mozzarella.
Repeat with second layer of noodles, remaining ricotta, chicken, sauce, and mozzarella.
Top with final layer of noodles, remaining Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and extra parmesan.
Step 4: Bake the Lasagna
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Uncover and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Top with fresh chopped parsley or basil for a burst of color.
Serve hot with garlic bread and a crisp green salad.
Notes
Use Rotisserie Chicken – Quick and flavorful shortcut.
Cook Noodles Al Dente – They’ll finish cooking in the oven.
Don’t Overload Layers – Keeps it from becoming too heavy or soggy.
Let It Rest – Helps the layers hold together when slicing.
Add Veggies – Sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli make great additions.
