Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken Mixture:
    • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
    • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
    • 2 cups fresh spinach
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 cup onion, diced
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Ricotta Mixture:
    • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 large egg
    • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • For the Lasagna:
    • 9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
    • 2 cups marinara sauce
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add garlic and onion, sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
    • Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in shredded chicken, spinach, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat.
  • Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:
    • In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, and parsley. Mix until well blended.
  • Assemble the Lasagna:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
    • Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
    • Add 1/3 of the chicken mixture on top of the ricotta layer.
    • Sprinkle with a bit of shredded mozzarella cheese.
    • Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a layer of noodles topped with marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the Lasagna:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Cool & Serve:
    • Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
    • Serve warm and enjoy this comforting dish!
