Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups fresh spinach, sautéed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Make the White Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in the milk, and continue whisking until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of the white sauce at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Add a layer of shredded chicken, spinach, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a layer of sauce and cheese on top.
- Bake: Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve: Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the white sauce.
If using frozen spinach, make sure it’s fully thawed and well-drained before adding to the lasagna.
