Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 8 oz. white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 1 (6 oz.) bag fresh baby spinach
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 8 no-boil (oven-ready) lasagna noodles
- 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add chopped onions, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
- Add baby spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in shredded cooked chicken and set aside.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken stock and flour to create a slurry.
- In a saucepan, combine the remaining chicken stock, whole milk, nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a slow simmer.
- Whisk in the slurry once the mixture bubbles, and continue to simmer until thickened (about 5-8 minutes). Stir in Parmesan cheese and remove from heat.
- Assemble the Lasagna:
- Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into a 10×10-inch baking dish. Layer with 2 lasagna noodles, 1 cup chicken mixture, 1 cup sauce, and 1/4 cup mozzarella.
- Repeat the layers three more times, ending with sauce and remaining mozzarella on top.
- Bake the Lasagna:
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden top.
- Let it stand for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- Feel free to substitute different types of mushrooms for variety.
