Ingredients

To make this delicious lasagna, you will need the following ingredients:

• 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 lasagna noodles
• 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Let’s get started with the cooking process! Follow these steps to create your lasagna masterpiece:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, onions, garlic, mushrooms, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3: Add Spinach and Chicken

Add the fresh baby spinach to the pan and cook until wilted. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the shredded cooked chicken. Set aside.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the chicken stock with the flour to create a slurry. In a separate saucepan, combine the remaining chicken stock, whole milk, nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Bring to a simmer, then slowly whisk in the slurry. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens. Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese.

Step 5: Assemble the Lasagna

In a 10×10 inch baking dish, start by spreading a layer of the sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the chicken and vegetable mixture, and then a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 6: Bake

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. For a golden and bubbly top, broil the lasagna for 2-3 minutes if desired.

Step 7: Serve

Once the lasagna is done baking, let it stand for a few minutes before serving. This will help the layers set and make it easier to slice.
