Irresistible White Cheese Chicken Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 2 cups cubed, cooked chicken meat
• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and ensure all ingredients are readily available.
2. Boil a generous pot of lightly salted water. Add the lasagna noodles and cook for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, achieving an al dente texture. Drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Incorporate the onion and garlic, then whisk in the flour until lightly browned and the onion softens, approximately 2 minutes. Introduce the chicken broth, milk, and salt, cooking while whisking continuously for about 1 minute.
4. Incorporate 2 cups of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan, stirring until fully combined. Season generously with basil, oregano, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Spread a generous 1/3 of the creamy sauce mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
6. Create a delectable layer with 3 lasagna noodles, followed by a creamy ricotta cheese and flavorful chicken.
7. Arrange another layer of 3 lasagna noodles over the chicken, then generously spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture, fresh spinach, the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan.
8. Top with the remaining lasagna noodles and evenly spread the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan for added flavor and visual appeal.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
10. Serve warm and savor each delicious bite!
