When I go out to eat I love to order dishes that contain Alfredo sauce. I love the cheesy, creamy flavor and my kids do too. Shockingly, my kids are not big fans of tomato based sauces. This is very surprising especially when you consider the fact that they are half Italian and so many Italian dishes use delicious tomato based sauces. I adore tomato sauce and usually have it a few times a week, but I also try and make traditional Italian dishes for the kids using an Alfredo sauce. Today I'll be sharing a delicious recipe for Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Cups where I used wonton wrappers in place of pasta. You'll never miss the pasta and making this dish in a muffin tin makes meal prep easy.
You can try this dish some ground beef instead of chicken. I find it very versatile. We have made white pizza by using Alfredo Sauce as a base and adding ricotta, mozzarella and chicken. Amazing!
I added chicken to this dish to give everyone a little extra protein. If you have a child that doesn't care for chicken, you can cut it up pretty small and they will hardly notice it.
Just mix the cooked, chopped chicken with ricotta and mozzarella for the filling.
Then it's simply a matter of layering the ingredients into wonton cups and adding Alfredo Sauce, which is made from fresh cream and aged Parmesan cheese.
If you are making a smaller batch of these you can just pop them in a toaster oven. For a larger batch, they will cook up in an oven in 20-25 minutes.
If you notice the tips of the wonton wrappers are getting too dark during cooking, simply place some foil over the tray and continue baking.
The cheesy, authentic taste of Alfredo Sauce really brings this dish to life. This is the perfect dish to sit back and enjoy with the family.
