Creamy Chicken and Spinach Lasagna Recipe

Hello! I hope your Monday treated you well this week. I had such a hard time getting out of bed this morning to go to work. How I wish for just one more weekend day. As I'm sure we all wish for that lol!

Today's recipe is ah-mazing!! I came up with it, spur of the moment, when my sister wanted to come over for dinner one evening. It comes together so quickly using pre-cooked chicken and the flavor is incredible. We ate way more than we should have, but there was still a half a pan left. I left it on the counter to cool since it was still piping hot and hopped on the computer for an hour. I couldn't keep my eyes open after awhile, so I decided to go to bed. The next morning, I walked out of my bedroom and smelled garlic. I knew then, that I forgot to put the leftovers in the fridge. UGH! I hate when that happens!! I was so looking forward to leftovers for lunch that day!! Make this recipe, cuz you'll love it, but don't forget about the leftovers, like I did!! Enjoy!!






Creamy Chicken and Spinach Lasagna (print recipe)

What you need:
9 lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup onion, diced
2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and liquid squeezed out
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1- 14.5 ounce jar of alfredo sauce
1/4 cup milk
1- 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
salt and pepper, as desired

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook pasta according to package directions, but drain and rinse pasta about 2 minutes before it is finished cooking. Set aside.

In a large skillet, saute the garlic and onion in the olive oil over medium heat. Saute for a bout 5 minutes, then add the chicken, spinach, basil, alfredo, milk and diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Heat through and then remove from heat to assemble lasagna. 

In an 8x11 glass baking dish, spoon some alfredo in the bottom and spread to lightly cover the bottom. Lay 3 noodles across the bottom, cover with sauce mixture, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top starts to brown.

  1. This looks fabulous. I love the flavors of chicken, spinach, and Alfredo sauce.

    I also forget to put leftovers in the fridge more often than I'd like.

  3. I pinned this and will be making it as soon as we are over our heatwave. I have forgotten and left something out over night and that is a horrible feeling. It usually happens with something that is too hot to go in the frig and then I forget. ugh!
