How To Make Chicken Broccoli Lasagna (Easy Alfredo!)

Chicken and Broccoli Lasagna is a healthy twist on a traditional favorite comforting meal that the whole family will love. Layers of pasta filled with tender chicken, nutritious broccoli, and a simple alfredo sauce will delight the taste buds with creamy, cheesy goodness. Your family will eat veggies without complaining!

I don’t know about you, but I’m always working to get more veggies into our diet. The catch is that it needs to happen in a way that’s super delicious (picky kids and all!).

I’ve found ways to add veggies to traditional lasagna, but I wanted to create an alternative for variety. I’m thrilled to say that after lots of experimentation, I have a delicious alternative to traditional lasagna with red sauce (like this Easy Crock Pot Lasagna)! 

I’m a HUGE fan of making casseroles and pasta dishes because they’re delicious and easy to add veggies to. Some of our family favorites include Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake and Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Skillet.

This dish consists of thick layers of noodles, broccoli, and chicken baked in an easy homemade creamy white sauce! 

Plus, it’s great for meal prepping because you can throw it together the day before and bake it the next day.

• Fill Each Layer Fully – As you assemble your layers, try to completely cover the layer underneath so you get good layers with every delicious morsel in each bite!
• Cover To Bake Then Uncover To Brown – Try saving time by baking this covered for the first 35 minutes. Then uncover and add cheese to let it melt and brown.

Chicken And Broccoli Lasagna Recipe Variations To Try

• If you don’t want to cook your lasagna noodles, try using oven-ready noodles. Time saver!

• Would you rather use a couple of jars of white Alfredo sauce? Do it!

• If you want to cut calories more, skip the creamy alfredo sauce and blend a container of ricotta cheese with 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 cup cottage cheese.

• Sometimes I add some frozen riced cauliflower (about 1/2 cup) for an additional (and tasteless) boost of nutrition.

• Make it cheesier by adding mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend to the layers (or on top of your broccoli lasagne).

• Diced fresh mushrooms would be a delicious addition!

• Other great veggie ideas include squash, zucchini, and bell peppers.

• Want to change the protein? Try turkey, ground beef, or ham.
