Ingredients
  

For the Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

For the Lasagna:

  • 1 box of lasagna noodles prepared according to the instructions on the package
  • 32 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 ounces frozen spinach thawed and drained
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 18 slices provolone cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside for later use.

Prepare the White Sauce:

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
  • Slowly incorporate the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth mixture without any lumps.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and stir in the parmesan cheese and dried parsley.
  • Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens, then set aside.

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:

  • In a large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  • Stir in the thawed and drained spinach.

Assemble the Lasagna:

  • Pour a light coating of the white sauce onto the bottom of the greased baking dish, ensuring an even layer.
  • Add a layer of lasagna noodles, then spread a layer of the ricotta-spinach mixture over the noodles.
  • Sprinkle a layer of shredded chicken, then place 6 slices of provolone cheese over the chicken.
  • Pour a thin layer of the white sauce over the cheese.
  • Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of noodles, sauce, and provolone on top.

Bake:

  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese on top is golden and bubbly.

Serve:

  • Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy!
