  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian herb seasoning

Sauce:

  • 450g low fat or fat free cottage cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

How to make chicken alfredo lasagna

Start by seasoning your diced chicken breast with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian herbs. Mix well so every piece is coated. Set it aside while you prepare the sauce.

In a blender, combine cottage cheese, parmesan, seasonings, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. This is your high protein alfredo sauce, and it’s what makes this dish lighter but still rich.

Cook the chicken in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until it’s mostly cooked through.

Remove it, then in the same pan sauté your diced onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. Turn the heat to low, return the chicken, and stir in the sauce.

Now layer your lasagna. Start with a little sauce at the base, then half the chicken mixture, followed by lasagna sheets.

Add more sauce, the remaining chicken, a layer of cheese, more sheets, then finish with the rest of the sauce and cheese.

Cover and bake until cooked through, then uncover and bake again until golden and bubbly.

How long does it take + serving ideas

This high protein chicken alfredo lasagna takes about 15 minutes to prep and around 35–40 minutes to cook. So you’re looking at just under an hour from start to finish.

Tips, variations, or substitutions faq

If your sauce feels too thick, just add a splash more milk to loosen it up. You want it pourable but still creamy.

You can swap chicken breast for turkey mince if you prefer a different texture. Regular lasagna sheets work too, just boil them first.

For variations, try adding spinach for extra greens or mushrooms for more flavor. You can also spice it up with chili flakes if you like a bit of heat.

Storage & meal prep

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. This recipe is perfect for meal prep since it holds up really well.

To reheat, microwave individual portions for 2–3 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat it in the oven if you prefer that freshly baked texture.
