Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions if not using no-boil varieties. Drain and lay noodles flat on a tray.
- Heat 1–2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, 4–5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add shredded cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. If your chicken is cold, warm it through.
- Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted (about 2–3 minutes). If using frozen spinach, make sure excess moisture is squeezed out before adding. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together room-temperature cream cheese, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning until smooth. Warm it slightly if needed so it’s easy to pour.
Assembly and Baking
- Spread a thin layer of the cream sauce on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Lay the first layer of noodles, spread one-third of the chicken-spinach mixture, and drizzle/pour one-third of the cream sauce over it. Sprinkle a light layer of mozzarella and a little Parmesan.
- Repeat layers (noodles, chicken mixture, cream sauce, cheeses) until ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Let the lasagna rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing so it sets and slices cleanly.
Notes
Pair with a bright green salad, garlic bread, or simple roasted vegetables. For wine pairing, try an unoaked Chardonnay or light Pinot Noir. Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days and reheat appropriately.
