Easy Chicken Broccoli Lasagna
This Chicken Broccoli Lasagna only uses FIVE ingredients but is packed with flavor and makes an amazing, hearty dinner! Thick layers of broccoli, chicken and cheese and baked in Alfredo sauce with hardly any hassle at all! This dish reheats easily making it great for lunches and meal preps, too!
Ingredients
- 8 no-bake lasagna noodles See Note 1
- 4 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped or other cooked chicken
- 4-5 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese See other options in Note 2
- 1 24 oz. jar of Alfredo sauce such as Rao's or Ragu
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Then, spread a few tablespoons of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish.
- Lay 4 lasagna noodles onto the bottom of the dish. You may have to break them in half and overlap them a bit.
- On top of the lasagna noodles, layer on half of the chicken.
- Then layer on half of the broccoli.
- Pour half of the sauce over the top of everything. Make sure you get the edges and into the corners!
- Top with half the cheese, then REPEAT with the remaining ingredients: noodles, chicken, broccoli, sauce. DO NOT put on the last layer of cheese yet!
- Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes.
- Uncover and add the remaining cheese. Cook UNCOVERED another 15 minutes until lasagna is bubbly and cheese is nice and melted. Optional: broil for 2-3 minutes to get nice browned spots on the cheese.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5-10 minute. Cut into squares and serve!
Notes
Note 1: I use oven-ready lasagna noodles (usually Target's Good and Gather brand) for this dish because I'm lazy like that :) It has always come out perfectly. However, if you aren't a fan of oven ready noodles (they cook up SLIGHTLY more al dente than if you boil them yourself), you can boil regular noodles and use those, too.
Note 2: I am never picky when it comes to cheese! I just throw in what I like! The meltiest cheeses work best for this chicken lasagna with broccoli. My favorite swaps for mozzarella are: fontina, white cheddar, gouda, jack cheese.
