Chicken and Spinach Alfredo Lasagna
"This is a wonderful variation on the traditional lasagna with the added healthy benefits of spinach. I like to use whole wheat pasta and grilled chicken breast. When you can't get them to eat their spinach just serve up some of this great lasagna!"

This may be a silly question but do I precook the chicken?

I used one jar 5 cheese alfredo and one newmans alfredo and mixed them. They work together well. Everyone loves it. -
The most requested meal I have ever made -
The velocity with which a forkful of lasagna was eaten with a multiplier effect of 5 people equals that of a turbo charger. For entertainment purposes, this comparison may have been exaggerated only a tad. -
This was awesome! I halved the recipe and made in an 8 X 8 pan. I used no cook noodles, homemade alfredo, fresh spinach (sauteed in olive oil and garlic) and substituted ham for the chicken. We will make this again for sure! -
I made half a recipe but oh so good. I used fresh spinach and ricotta cheese. Very filling and great flavor.

Added veggies. Added more noodles to fit my pan. Added more sauce. -
I fried about 1/4 lb of bacon, cooked the chicken in the bacon grease and crumbled the bacon into the alfredo mixture. It came out really good. I’m thinking about trying some diced ham next time. And I’ll probably use ricotta instead of cottage cheese next time too.

Great recipe! Used Italian Seasoning instead of Parsely Flakes & Bertolli Garlic Alfredo instead of regular Alfredo with garlic powder. Also, I used egg beaters since my hubby is allergic to eggs. Came out perfect!
