Next Steps


In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, and shredded chicken. Mix well to create the filling.
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
Place three lasagna noodles on top of the marinara sauce.
Spread a generous layer of the ricotta and chicken mixture over the noodles.
Repeat the layers – noodles, sauce, ricotta and chicken mixture – until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of marinara sauce on top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Vegetarian Alternative – Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna:


For a vegetarian alternative to this recipe, simply substitute the chicken with a mix of sautéed mushrooms and additional chopped spinach. Follow the same steps, replacing the chicken filling with the mushroom and spinach mixture. This version of the lasagna is equally delicious and satisfying.
