Ingredients:
- 1 (25-ounce) bag frozen cheese ravioli 🧀
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!) 🍗
- 1 (16-ounce) jar Alfredo sauce 🥫
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 🌿
- 1 (15-ounce) container of ricotta cheese 🧀
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) 🌿
Directions:
- Prep Your Slow Cooker: Start by lightly greasing the inside of your slow cooker to prevent sticking. Spread a small amount of Alfredo sauce on the bottom to create a flavorful base.
- Layer the Ravioli: Place half of the frozen cheese ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with half of the remaining Alfredo sauce. Spread this mixture over the layer of ravioli.
- Add the Cheeses: Spoon half of the ricotta cheese in dollops over the chicken layer. Then, sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. For extra flavor, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning over the cheese.
- Repeat the Layers: Layer the remaining ravioli, followed by the rest of the chicken and Alfredo mixture, and top with the remaining ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Sprinkle the final layer with more Italian seasoning for that perfect finishing touch.
- Cook to Perfection: Cover your slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours. The ravioli should be tender, and the cheese should be bubbly and perfectly melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the lasagna is cooked, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this easy slow cooker meal.
Recipe Notes:
- Time-Saving Tip: Using rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even quicker to prepare.
- Make it Your Own: Feel free to customize the recipe by adding sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or even a few sun-dried tomatoes between the layers for extra flavor and texture.
