A wholesome and flavorful chicken lasagna layered with fresh spinach and creamy cheese, perfect for a comforting Italian-inspired dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Add the cooked shredded chicken, chopped spinach, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
  4. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese with half of the Parmesan cheese.
  5. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Layer 3 noodles over the sauce.
  6. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then add 1/3 of the chicken-spinach mixture followed by a layer of marinara sauce. Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese.
  7. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the ricotta mixture or serve with a fresh green salad and garlic bread.
