Step-by-step
- First, cut up your rotisserie chicken. Set aside.
- Next, in a separate bowl combine Italian cheese blend with ricotta cheese. Mixture will be thick.
- Finally, in a third bowl, combine both jars of alfredo sauce with water, Italian seasoning and garlic.
- Assemble the lasagna layers: Spread 1/4 of the alfredo sauce into the bottom the slow cooker. Arrange 3-4 lasagna noodles on top of the alfredo sauce (break noodles to fit).
- Spread 1/3 of the chicken on top of lasagna noodles.
- Then spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top of the chicken.
- Then repeat these same steps two more times (alfredo sauce, noodles, chicken, cheese mixture.) Try to make sure the alfredo sauce covers to the edge of the noodles. This will help the noodles cook properly.
- Finally, top with shredded mozzarella cheese and dried parsley (optional).
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours (or until noodles are tender.)
