📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken and Mushrooms:

  1. Heat the oil:
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  1. Cook the mushrooms and onion:
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are soft.
  1. Add garlic and chicken:
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the cooked chicken, and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce (if making homemade):

  1. Make the Alfredo sauce (optional):
  • In a separate saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Lasagna:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  1. Layer the lasagna:
  • Spread 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place a layer of 3 cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  1. Add the filling:
  • Spread 1/3 of the chicken and mushroom mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan.
  1. Repeat:
  • Repeat the layers two more times: noodles, chicken-mushroom mixture, cheeses, and Alfredo sauce.
  1. Top with cheese:
  • Finish with a final layer of lasagna noodles, Alfredo sauce, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

4. Bake the Lasagna:

  1. Bake:
  • Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
