White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

This dish is amazing. While not the healthiest, it's perfect for a once and while dinner when you just want to go all out and impress someone. The original recipe is from Allrecipes, mine is slightly adapted.



  • 9 oven ready lasagna noodles
  • 1/2 cup butter (I use Smart Balance)
  • Spoonful of garlic
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 4 cups shredded Italian blend cheese (or mozzarella), divided
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning blend (mine is a grinder)
  • Dash of pepper
  • 16 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 chicken breasts, baked and cubed
  • 1 bag fresh spinach

Melt butter in large saucepan. Add garlic, flour, and salt and mix together. Add broth and milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly for about a minute. Stir in 2 cups of italian cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.  Stir in the italian seasonings and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Spread 1/3 sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top, cover with ricotta cheese, then a layer of fresh spinach (be generous - the spinach will cook down). Add some of the leftover cheese on top of that. Repeat until you have no ingredients left! Top with remaining italian cheese/parm cheese.
