Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large chicken breast or 2 small chicken breasts (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups shredded Parmesan
9 oven-ready lasagna noodles
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus additional for garnish
12 ounces shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breast with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the chicken on medium heat until it registers 165 degrees F in the middle, about 5 minutes on each side. Cube the chicken and set aside.
  • For the alfredo sauce: In the same pan that the chicken was cooked in, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until the garlic has softened, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. (Be careful not to brown the roux.) Add the milk and heavy cream a little at a time, making sure to whisk until smooth after each addition, and let thicken, about 5 minutes. Add the nutmeg and pepper. Whisk to combine. Turn off the heat and mix in 2 1/2 cups Parmesan. Stir until all the cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Layer 1 cup of the alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Add 3 lasagna noodles. Spread another cup of alfredo, a third of the chicken, a sprinkle of parsley and a quarter of the mozzarella. Then add 3 more noodles and repeat the layering two more times, ending with alfredo sauce, the remaining mozzarella and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan.
  • Bake until browned on top, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the lasagna from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting into it.

Provided by Hollinhead77

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons seasoned salt (such as Mrs. Dash® Italian blend)
2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth, or as needed
9 lasagna noodles
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg
dried Italian seasoning, divided
2 (16 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce, or more to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small white onion, diced
¼ cup chopped baby bella mushrooms
1 (6 ounce) package fresh spinach
1 roma tomato, seeded and chopped
1 (16 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • Place chicken, seasoned salt, and 1 tablespoon garlic in a pot and pour enough broth over top to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred when cool enough to handle. Discard broth.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse with cold water, drain, and lay out on aluminum foil to cool.
  • Mix ricotta cheese, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning together in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Combine Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and pepper in a pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and mushrooms. Saute until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and remaining 1 tablespoon garlic; cook until spinach is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add spinach mixture to the ricotta mixture. Add tomato and mix well.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Put enough sauce in a 9x13-inch casserole dish to cover the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of sauce, followed by all of the ricotta mixture, 3 more noodles, all of the shredded chicken, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, 3 remaining noodles, the remaining sauce, and the remaining mozzarella. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that everyone loves, but what happens when you combine it with Mexican flavors? You get a scrumptious alfredo taco lasagna that will leave you begging for more. If you are new to cooking or just want to elevate your lasagna game, keep reading for valuable tips on how to make the best alfredo taco lasagna recipe.

Tip #1: Use Fresh Ingredients

The first and most important tip when making any dish is to use fresh ingredients. This is especially important when it comes to making alfredo taco lasagna, where the quality of the ingredients will directly impact the flavor of the dish. Use fresh vegetables such as onions, peppers, and tomatoes, and high-quality meat such as ground beef, turkey or chicken. Fresh herbs and spices will also add an extra level of flavor to the dish. Avoid using canned ingredients if possible as they may have added preservatives and artificial ingredients.

Tip #2: Choose the Right Type of Cheese

One of the most important ingredients in alfredo taco lasagna is cheese. While mozzarella is a classic cheese used in traditional lasagna, when it comes to alfredo taco lasagna, you have more choices. Cheddar cheese adds a sharp, distinct flavor to the dish, while Monterey Jack cheese offers a creamy texture. However, for the best results, use a combination of both. Adding a layer of ricotta and parmesan cheese will also add depth to the dish.

Tip #3: Layer the Ingredients Correctly

The secret to a delicious lasagna is layering the ingredients correctly. Start with a layer of the sauce at the bottom of the dish to prevent the noodles from sticking. Then add a layer of noodles followed by a layer of meat, vegetables, and cheese. Repeat this layering process until all your ingredients are used up. Finally, sprinkle some cheese on top and cover with foil. Bake for the recommended time and remove the foil for the last 10-15 minutes for a browned, crispy top.

Tip #4: Don't Overcook the Noodles

Overcooked noodles in lasagna can make the dish mushy and unappetizing. Follow the cooking instructions on the package and don't let the noodles soak in the water for too long. Drain them immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. If you are using no-boil noodles, make sure you add enough sauce to prevent them from drying out.

Tip #5: Add Some Heat

If you love spicy food, adding some heat to your alfredo taco lasagna can take it to the next level. Add some jalapenos or chili powder to the meat mixture or sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top of the cheese layer. However, if you are serving the dish to guests, make sure to ask if they like spicy food or not.

Tip #6: Use a Homemade Sauce

While it is easy to use a store-bought sauce for your alfredo taco lasagna, making a homemade sauce can make all the difference. You can control the flavors and add your own spices and herbs to the sauce. To make a simple alfredo sauce, melt some butter in a pan and add some heavy cream. Add grated parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. You can also make a tomato-based sauce with canned tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs.

Tip #7: Use Heavy Cream

One of the secrets to a creamy alfredo taco lasagna is using heavy cream instead of regular milk. Heavy cream has a higher fat content and will give the dish a richer, creamier texture. However, if you are trying to reduce calories or fat, you can use skim milk or reduced-fat cheese instead.

Tip #8: Let the Lasagna Cool before Serving

Allowing the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving will ensure that the layers hold together and the dish is easier to cut. If you cut into the lasagna immediately after removing it from the oven, the layers may slide apart and the cheese will be stringy and gooey.

Conclusion

Alfredo taco lasagna is a delicious fusion of Italian and Mexican flavors that will leave you wanting more. By following these valuable tips, you can make the best alfredo taco lasagna recipe that your family and friends will love. Use fresh ingredients, layer correctly, don't overcook the noodles, add some heat, use a homemade sauce, use heavy cream, and let the lasagna cool before serving. Get ready to enjoy a delicious, cheesy, and hearty meal that will satisfy all cravings.
