Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 1/2 cups milk

  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese

  • 2 cups cubed, cooked chicken meat

  • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Start by cooking the lasagna noodles in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until tender. Stir in the flour and salt, and cook until the mixture is bubbly. Gradually mix in the chicken broth and milk, bringing it to a boil while stirring constantly. After boiling for 1 minute, reduce the heat and stir in 2 cups of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Season with basil, oregano, and black pepper, then remove from heat.

  3. To assemble the lasagna, spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer 1/3 of the noodles on top, followed by all the ricotta cheese and the cooked chicken. Add another 1/3 of the noodles, followed by another third of the sauce, all the spinach, and half of the remaining cheeses. Top with the last layer of noodles, the remaining sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
