Ingredients
  

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken cubed
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 2 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all the ingredients.
  • In a large pot of boiling, lightly salted water, cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, approximately 8–10 minutes. Drain, then rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  • While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is tender and fragrant. Whisk in the flour, cooking for about 2 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Gradually add the chicken broth and milk to the saucepan, whisking continuously until smooth. Stir in 2 cups of mozzarella and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Season the mixture with salt, basil, oregano, and black pepper. Once the sauce is creamy and well combined, remove from heat and set aside.
  • Spread one-third of the prepared sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by an even layer of ricotta cheese and cubed chicken.
  • Arrange three more lasagna noodles on top, spreading another one-third of the sauce mixture over them. Layer with thawed spinach, 2 cups of mozzarella, and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese.
  • Lay the remaining lasagna noodles over the top layer and cover with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan and the chopped parsley.
  • Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  • Allow the lasagna to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
