Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Gather all the ingredients.

In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Whisk in the flour until lightly browned and the onion is tender, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, milk, and salt. Cook and whisk continuously for 1 minute.

Stir in 2 cups (225 g) of mozzarella and 1/4 cup (25 g) of Parmesan until well combined. Season with basil, oregano, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.

Step 6

Layer with 3 lasagna noodles, ricotta, and chicken.

Step 7

Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the chicken and layer with 1/3 of the sauce mixture, spinach, the remaining mozzarella, and 1/2 cup (50 g) of Parmesan.

Step 8

Arrange the remaining noodles over the cheese and spread the remaining sauce evenly over the noodles. Sprinkle with parsley and the remaining 1/4 cup (25 g) of Parmesan.
