Chicken Alfredo Lasagna - Crock Pot

Of the recipes I tried, this was the one that actually ended up tasting really, really good. At first we were concerned it wouldn't completely feed us, but this is a filling recipe. As a side note, we use 1 jar Great Value Alfredo and 1 jar of Classico Alfredo. I imagine any good Alfredo would work (including homemade). I would say you could feed 4 - 6 adults on this especially if you have salad or bread along with it. For whatever reason, I really enjoyed this meal, much more than I thought I would. I'm betting spinach could be added in to this as well for variation.

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
2 jars (16 oz each) Alfredo sauce
1/3 c. water
1.5 c. chicken, cooked and diced*
1 carton (10 - 15 oz) ricotta or cottage cheese
2 c. grated mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Grease 6 - 7 quart slow cooker.
2. Break noodles to fit in bottom of slow cooker.
3. Layer a third of Alfredo sauce, half of water, and half of chicken over noodles. Spread half of ricotta or cottage cheese and sprinkle a third of mozzarella over meat layer.
4. Add another layer of noodles. Layer a third of Alfredo sauce, remaining chicken, water, and ricotta or cottage cheese. Sprinkle second third of mozzarella.
5. Layer remaining noodles, sauce, and mozzarella. Cover and cook on low heat 4 - 5 hours. Do not cook more than 5 hours.**

Variation: Add a small can (2.25 oz) of sliced olives between layers.

* We cooked the chicken using about a tablespoon of olive oil, 2 - 3 tsp of Italian seasoning, and about 1 tablespoon of garlic.
** If you cook it for longer it becomes discolored and looses some texture quality.
