Are you looking for a simple dinner recipe that can feed the entire family and still have some leftover? This easy Chicken Alfredo Lasagna is exactly what you need. Not only is every bite packed full of cheese, chicken, and broccoli but you’re also going to love how simple this recipe is to make. And with a crazy year, I’m all about an easy meal.
When you decide to make up this simple dish, you’re going to really be impressed that it’s not going to take you any longer than 1 hour of time to make. And since you’re going to have some time leftover, you might as well whip up something simple for dessert as well, right?
Check out our Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars as a delicious and easy option. They’re the perfect flavor to go right along with this dish.
I also really like that this dish gives me a chance to get a few extra veggies into the kid’s bellies, too. I’m not ashamed to hide the veggies in cheese and other tasty ingredients! Once I see them filling and fueling their bodies, it makes me a very happy momma, for sure!
If you’re lucky enough to have some leftover, just pop it into a sealable container with a lid and store it in the fridge. You’ll be able to reheat it easily when it’s time to sit down and eat, which is something that I like to call Round 2!
Don’t forget to meal plan and try our Grilled Veggie Lasagna as well. Another hearty flavor that is loaded with healthy ingredients!
