Let’s Make it Together

Cooking can be an adventure! Grab your apron and let’s get started on this delicious journey.

Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s warming up, gather all your ingredients on the counter so everything is within reach.

Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add some olive oil. Once hot, add diced chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and no longer pink inside.

Add Mushrooms & Garlic: Toss in sliced mushrooms and minced garlic into the skillet with chicken. Sauté until mushrooms soften and release their juices—around 5-7 minutes should do nicely.

Create the Alfredo Sauce: Lower heat and stir in heavy cream along with grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and bubbly—this should take about 3-4 minutes.

Layer Your Lasagna: In a baking dish, start layering: spread a thin layer of sauce at the bottom, followed by noodles, then some chicken mixture. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used up, finishing with sauce on top.

Bake Until Golden: Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.

Let this Cheesy Mushroom Chicken Alfredo Lasagna cool slightly before serving—it allows those glorious flavors to settle together beautifully!

Now gather around the dinner table because this culinary masterpiece awaits! Enjoy every mouthful as you bask in satisfied smiles from family and friends alike!
