chicken alfredo lasagna low carb
Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 40 minutes Total Time: 1 hour Recipe Yield: 8 servings Difficulty Level: Intermediate
Ingredients:
For the Chicken Alfredo Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
For the Lasagna Layers:
- 1 large zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked chicken to the Alfredo sauce, stirring until well combined. Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside.
- Arrange a layer of thinly sliced zucchini on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, covering it evenly.
- Spread a portion of the chicken Alfredo sauce over the zucchini layer, covering it with a generous amount.
- Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce layer, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining zucchini slices, chicken Alfredo sauce, and cheeses, ending with a layer of sauce and cheeses on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the foil and broil the lasagna for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve hot as a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional lasagna.
