World’s Best Chicken & Spinach Lasagna

This chicken and spinach lasagna is super delicious and is a twist on the classic lasagna recipe.

Sauté the chicken on the stovetop for about 7 minutes per side until it is mostly cooked through.

If cooking the chicken in a pressure cooker, add butter, oil, onion, garlic, all spices minus nutmeg, and 1 cup of liquid of your choice (either water or chicken stock). Set pressure cooker to 7 minutes.

Additionally, this recipe freezes beautifully. Simply double the recipe and freeze one for later. Then pull it out of the freezer on a busy night and cook at 400 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Pair with garlic bread and a salad kit, and voila! You have an amazing dinner ready. Enjoy!

How to make the World’s Best Chicken & Spinach Lasagna:

Sauté chicken breasts in butter and extra virgin olive oil either in the pressure cooker or frying pan. Add in onions, garlic, & all the spices minus the nutmeg. Salt and pepper the meat to taste.

Add in spinach and cover with lid until wilted.

Shred chicken breasts by putting into a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or shred with two forks.

In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, milk or cream, ricotta, 1 oz of parmesan, and nutmeg spice then taste. Adjust salt and pepper at this point, if needed.

Put 1 cup of red sauce on the bottom of a 9″x13″ casserole dish and spread to cover the whole pan.

Layer the bottom with oven ready lasagna noodles. Next, layer the chicken mixture, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese on top.

Continue this layering process until you reach the top of the pan.

Finish off the top with remaining red sauce and cheese.

Cover the dish with foil and cook at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with foil too for easy clean up. Check the center of the lasagna after 30 minutes. Add additional 10 minutes, if needed.

Serve hot with garlic bread and a bagged salad kit.
