# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 9 lasagna noodles
02 - 2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
03 - 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
04 - 2 cups ricotta cheese

→ Sauce and Cheese Mixture

05 - 1/2 cup butter
06 - 1 onion, chopped
07 - 1 clove garlic, minced
08 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
09 - 2 cups chicken broth
10 - 1 1/2 cups milk
11 - 1 teaspoon salt
12 - 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
13 - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
14 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
15 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
16 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
17 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F). Gather all ingredients.
02 - Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse noodles with cold water.
03 - Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic, cooking until onion is tender. Whisk in flour and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Gradually add chicken broth, milk, and salt, whisking continuously until thickened, about 1 minute.
04 - Stir in 2 cups of shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Mix well until combined. Add basil, oregano, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
05 - Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, then layer with ricotta and cubed chicken. Add 3 more lasagna noodles and top with 1/3 of the sauce mixture, spinach, 2 cups shredded mozzarella, and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Arrange the remaining noodles on top, spreading the remaining sauce evenly. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
07 - Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the spinach is fully drained to prevent excess moisture in the dish.
02 - The lasagna can be prepared a day in advance and baked later.
