Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs boneless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- 10 oz fresh spinach washed and roughly chopped
- 12 pieces lasagna noodles cooked
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 4 cups milk preferably whole
- 6 tbsp flour all-purpose
- 1 tsp salt or more to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper or more to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add shredded chicken.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and add flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Arrange half the lasagna noodles in the prepared baking dish, layer with half of the chicken mixture, and pour half of the white sauce over it. Repeat layers and top with mozzarella.
- Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
For a more flavorful version, add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg to the sauce and substitute ricotta for some of the mozzarella.
