Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chicken Spinach Lasagna.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious lasagna.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling, gently add the lasagna noodles and cook them until they’re tender yet still have a delightful bite, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
After cooking, drain the noodles and set them aside, giving them a moment to cool off.
Step 5
Next, grab a nonstick saucepan and toss in the frozen spinach along with half a cup of water.
Step 6
Bring this mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-high.
Step 7
Cover the pan and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is tender, which should take around 6 to 7 minutes.
Step 8
Once done, drain the spinach and squeeze out any excess water to keep your lasagna from getting soggy.
Step 9
In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken with a jar of creamy Alfredo sauce, mixing them together until they’re well blended.
Step 10
In another bowl, take your ricotta cheese and mix it with the cooked spinach until it’s thoroughly combined, creating a rich filling that’s bursting with flavor.
Step 11
Now it’s time to assemble your lasagna masterpiece! In a 9x13-inch baking dish, lay down a single layer of lasagna noodles, overlapping the edges slightly.
Step 12
Spread the chicken and Alfredo mixture evenly over the noodles, and then sprinkle a cup of mozzarella cheese on top for that melty goodness.
Step 13
Add another layer of noodles, followed by the spinach and ricotta mixture.
Step 14
Pour half of the remaining Alfredo sauce over this layer, and don’t forget to sprinkle another cup of mozzarella cheese for extra creaminess.
Step 15
Finish off with a final layer of noodles, then spread the rest of the Alfredo sauce over the top.
Step 16
Pile on the remaining two cups of mozzarella cheese, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Step 17
Now, pop your lasagna into the preheated oven and let it bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Step 18
Keep an eye on it as it transforms into a golden-brown, bubbly delight that will fill your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 19
Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy every cheesy, savory bite of your homemade lasagna!.
