Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chicken Mixture
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Lasagna Layers
  • 9 pieces lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish so the lasagna releases easily after baking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar. Mix until the filling is creamy and fully blended.
Building the Lasagna
  1. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer in this order: 3 lasagna noodles, ⅓ of the chicken mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat the layers three times, finishing with the remaining Alfredo sauce, more mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese on top.
Baking
  1. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and lightly golden.
Serving
  1. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes to help the layers firm up for clean, beautiful slices.
  2. Garnish with extra bacon, chopped parsley, or a drizzle of ranch before serving.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time. For a spicy kick, add buffalo sauce or chopped jalapeños to the filling. You can assemble this dish up to 24 hours in advance or freeze it for quick meals.
