Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then set them aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded chicken, and minced garlic, along with spinach if you’re using it. Mix until well combined.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. Spread a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
  2. Layer the cooked noodles, chicken mixture, and mozzarella cheese over the marinara, adding more sauce as you go.
  3. Repeat the layers, finishing with noodles and a generous layer of marinara on top.
  4. Sprinkle with both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve alongside a light salad or garlic bread. For a creamier consistency, blend ricotta cheese with cream cheese. Letting the lasagna sit for a few minutes before slicing helps hold the layers together.
