    🧀 Ingredients & Substitutions

    Ingredients labels

    Ricotta & Egg: Adding an egg helps to bind the ricotta filling.

    Alfredo Sauce: You will need two 15-oz jars. You will use about one and a half of the jars. I have a list of how to use leftover alfredo sauce in the FAQ section below.

    Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles: I used Barilla's no-boil noodles. A 9oz package comes with 15 noodles. You will need 12 noodles.

    Shredded Chicken: You can make shredded chicken using a rotisserie chicken or make your own from chicken breast. My favorite way to make it is in a dutch oven, but you can also make it in a slow cooker or instant pot.

    Parmesan: Optional

    Complete list of ingredients in the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

    🔪 How to Make Broccoli and Chicken Lasagna

    Bake: Cover the pan with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Carefully uncover and bake for another 15 min. Let cook for 10 minutes before serving. Top with parmesan, optional.

    👩‍🍳Tips

    Make sure to completely cover the oven-ready noodles in sauce. If they aren't covered, they won't full cook and will be a little tuff.

    🥗 Sides

    • Simple salad
    • Garlic bread
    • Streamed veggies

    🙋‍♀️ FAQ

    How do I use up leftover alfredo sauce?

    Alfredo makes a great dip for pizza, pretzels, and vegetables. Add it to your meatloaf or meatballs for a creamy and cheesy texture. Slather it on top of roasted vegetables or roasted fish.

    Why does lasagna have to sit after coming out of the oven?

    Lasagna is hot when it comes out of the oven. Give it time to rest so it doesn't fall apart when you cut into it.
