Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
4 oz cremini mushrooms stems removed and chopped
1/2 cup yellow onion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cup raw spinach roughly chopped
4 oz original cream cheese (1/2 a block)
2/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 cup shredded chicken rotisserie works great
9 no boil lasagna noodles uncooked
1 (26 oz) jar pasta sauce*

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray a 9x6-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with baking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet set over medium heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the onions and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from the stovetop and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Then combine with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, spinach, cream cheese, ricotta, 1 cup of mozzarella, 3 tablespoons of parmesan, and the chicken. Mix until combined.
Spread 1/4 of the pasta sauce at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Cover with a layer of noodles, 1/4 of the sauce, then half of the filling. Top with another layer of noodles, 1/4 of the sauce, then the remaining chicken mixture. Add a final layer of noodles and sauce, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan over the top.
Cover with foil and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

*You can use homemade sauce (about 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups) or your favorite store-bought sauce. We use a locally made-organic sauce that is excellent!

You can STORE leftover Chicken Lasagna in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container and reheat it in the microwave. To FREEZE, prepare the lasagna in a disposable dish with a lid and freeze for up to 3 months.

When ready to bake, let it thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as usual. You may need to add a few extra minutes to ensure it heats through completely.
