Preheating your oven is a vital step in baking any dish, particularly when it comes to lasagna. This process ensures that your oven reaches the desired temperature before the food is placed inside, allowing for even cooking. When you preheat, the lasagna will start cooking immediately upon being placed in the oven, leading to a beautifully golden top and a warm, bubbly interior. Skipping this step can result in uneven cooking, where the edges may become overcooked while the center remains cold or undercooked. For the creamy chicken Alfredo lasagna, preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) will create the perfect environment for the dish to develop rich flavors and a delightful texture.

Ingredients
  

12 lasagna noodles

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

2 cups ricotta cheese

3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (divided into two portions)

1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

4 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lasagna Noodles:

    - Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Once cooked, drain them and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.

      Preheat the Oven:

        - Set your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C).

          Prepare the Chicken Filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is evenly blended.

              Assemble the Lasagna:

                - Start by spreading a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

                  - Lay 3 lasagna noodles in a single layer on top of the sauce.

                    - Spread one-third of the chicken mixture over the noodles, followed by one-fourth of the Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.

                      - Repeat this layering process two more times, using the remaining noodles, chicken mixture, Alfredo sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

                        - For the final layer, place the last 3 noodles on top, cover them with the remaining Alfredo sauce, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and all the Parmesan cheese over it.

                          Bake the Lasagna:

                            - Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (for easier removal, spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking). Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

                              Garnish and Serve:

                                - Once out of the oven, let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes to set. Just before serving, sprinkle the top with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
