Ingredients
9 lasagna noodles
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups half-and-half
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pinch of nutmeg
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth and half-and-half, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened.
Add dried thyme, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in shredded chicken and fresh spinach until combined.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer of mozzarella.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
