Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 3 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• 4 cups Cooked chicken (shredded)
• 1 10-ounce package Frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Whisk in the all-purpose flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually stir in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, basil, and oregano. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Spread 1/3 of the white sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Place 4 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, slightly overlapping.

Step 9

Layer 1/3 of the shredded chicken, 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, 1/3 of the spinach, and 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the noodles.

Step 10

Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a final layer of white sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
