Instructions:
Cajun Chicken:
- In a bowl, toss the diced chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken until fully cooked and slightly browned. Set aside.
Keto “Noodles”:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lay the eggplant slices on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to release excess moisture.
- Pat the eggplant slices dry with a paper towel.
- In a grill pan or skillet, cook the eggplant slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are tender. Set aside.
Alfredo Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously.
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Assembling the Lasagna:
- In a baking dish, start by layering the eggplant slices as the “noodles.”
- Spread a layer of Cajun chicken over the eggplant.
- Pour a portion of the Alfredo sauce over the chicken.
- Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers until you reach the top, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Baking:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
