Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag (25 ounces/709 grams) frozen cheese ravioli
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 container (15 ounces/425 grams) ricotta cheese
- 1 jar (16 ounces/454 grams) Alfredo sauce
Cheese Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by coating the interior with a light layer of cooking spray to prevent adhesion.
- Create a thin base of Alfredo sauce across the bottom of the slow cooker to ensure smooth release.
- Arrange the first layer of frozen ravioli across the sauce, ensuring they create a uniform foundation without overlapping.
- Shred the cooked chicken and blend it with half of the Alfredo sauce, distributing this mixture evenly over the ravioli layer.
- Carefully dot the chicken layer with ricotta cheese, spreading small dollops across the surface to ensure consistent coverage.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the ricotta, then dust with Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor profile.
- Construct a second identical layer, beginning with another set of ravioli, followed by the remaining chicken and Alfredo mixture.
- Top the second layer with the remaining ricotta, ensuring complete coverage of the chicken mixture.
- Complete the lasagna by scattering the final portions of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese across the top layer.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and allow the dish to cook on low temperature for 4-6 hours until the ravioli becomes tender and the cheese melts into a golden, bubbling surface.
- Once cooking is complete, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch before serving.
