Ingredients
For the Chicken and Sauce:
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Layers:
12 lasagna noodles (cooked according to package instructions)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce.
Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with shredded chicken, spinach (if using), ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Pour a layer of sauce over the top.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce and a final sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Step 3: Bake
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
