Chicken and Spinach Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Garlic Powder
  • 1 roasted chicken, shredded
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and rinse with cold water.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, mix together heavy cream, cream of mushroom soup, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Simmer, stirring frequently, until well blended.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Mix in the chicken with Garlic Powder, and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with enough of the cream sauce mixture to coat. Layer with 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/2 cup ricotta, 1/2 of the spinach, 1/2 the chicken mixture, and 1 cup mozzarella. Top with 1/2 the cream sauce mixture, and repeat the layers(reserving a cup of sauce). Place the remaining noodles on top, and spread with remaining sauce.
  5. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until brown and bubbly. Top with the remaining mozzarella, and continue baking until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
