Simple Ingredients

  • Noodles: Lasagna noodles that are cooked to al dente according to the package directions
  • Chicken: Leftover cooked chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken that’s diced or shredded. 
  • Herbs and spices: Fresh parsley or basil for garnish, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic for all the flavors of a fantastic lasagna

Recipe tips

  • I haven’t tested this recipe with uncooked lasagna noodles, no boil lasagna noodles or, oven oven-ready noodles. I’ve always cooked the pasta before using it. 
  • You can use frozen spinach, just thaw it and remove any excess water before using in the homemade sauce. 
  • Cottage cheese can be used in place of ricotta.
  • Use toothpicks to help tent foil off the cheese so it doesn’t stick.
