Ingredients
  

9 lasagna noodles

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

2 cups ricotta cheese

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

2 cups white sauce (béchamel)

3 cups fresh spinach, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for cooking

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Lasagna Noodles: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the White Sauce: In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 4 tablespoons of flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, continuing to stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

      Sauté the Spinach and Garlic: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

          Assemble the Lasagna: In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Add half of the shredded chicken, followed by half of the sautéed spinach, and half of the ricotta cheese. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella and a little parmesan. Drizzle some white sauce over the top.

            Repeat the Layers: Add another layer of noodles and repeat the process with the remaining chicken, spinach, ricotta, white sauce, and cheeses, finishing with a layer of noodles topped with the remaining white sauce and mozzarella.

              Bake the Lasagna: Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                Let it Rest: Remove from the oven and let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

                  Serve: Enjoy your creamy chicken lasagna warm, paired with a side salad or garlic bread!
