The holiday season is now in full swing!
The shopping, the decorating, the parties, etc, etc . . .
It can get so crazy and stressful sometimes!
I seriously plan on using my slow cooker a couple of times a week this month because if I can whip up a delicious dinner in a couple of minutes in the morning and have it ready come dinnertime, it’s just one less thing to stress about.
And when you taste this, you will definitely add it to your meal rotation. It was a big hit with the entire family! Add some Easy Parmesan Garlic Knots and a green salad and you have a delicious meal that is ready in a matter of minutes!
Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
Ingredients:
10-12 lasagna noodles, uncooked (it just depends on the size and shape of your slow cooker)
2 (16 oz) jars alfredo sauce
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups chicken, cooked and diced
1 (16 oz) container cottage cheese (or you could use ricotta cheese)
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 (2.25 oz) can sliced black olives
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions:
*You will want to use a LARGE slow cooker, such as a 5-6 quart pot.
Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Break 3-4 noodles to fit in the bottom of your slow cooker. Layer a third of the Alfredo sauce, half of the water, and half of the chicken over the noodles. Spread half of the cottage cheese and sprinkle a third of the mozzarella cheese over the chicken layer. Spread half of the olives on top. Add another layer of noodles. Layer a third of Alfredo sauce, remaining chicken, water, and cottage cheese. Sprinkle second third of mozzarella. Layer remaining noodles, sauce, and mozzarella. Top off with the rest of the olives, Parmesan cheese, and dried parsley. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours (no longer than 5 hours because the noodles go soft and mushy).
Makes about 10 servings.

Slow Cooker? Are you kidding me? This is an awesome recipe- I love using my slow cooker this time of year- xo Diana
I love making dinner in the slow cooker! Thanks for posting the recipe.
Yum! I love Alfredo sauce so this sounds perfect!
I’m eating this right now. delicious. I used one jar of classic Alfredo and one jar of light. I think I would use both lite next time. (Classico brand). I cooked chicken tenders in the oven with a bit of olive oil, garlic powder, and Mrs. Dash. I also used low fat cottage cheese. Actually, calorie wise this way, I don’t think this is terrible. I made a nice garden salad and some garlic bread. Perfect is right for this time of year!! thanks for the recipe. I will definitely make this again.
What kind of lasagna noodles? the no bake kind?
Just use the lasagna noodles that come in the box. You put them in the slow cooker uncooked (hard). Hope this helps!
Making this for dinner tonight. YUMMY and also trying the knot bread too.
Can I use red sauce?
Sure! It would totally change the taste, but I think that it would still be okay! -The Six Sisters
I’m not a fan of black olives but i think broccoli would be a great addition!
