Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 2 large pieces Chicken breast
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 16 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 5 cups Spinach
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Milk
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mince 4 garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and shred the chicken with two forks.

Step 5

In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly to create a smooth béchamel sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the béchamel sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Lay down 3-4 lasagna noodles to create the first layer.

Step 8

On top of the noodles, evenly spread 1/3 of the shredded chicken, sautéed spinach, and ricotta cheese. Pour 1/3 of the béchamel sauce over the layer and sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a layer of béchamel sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your creamy, garlicky Garlic Chicken Lasagna!
