Chicken Florentine Lasagna is a true treat for the taste buds! Italian spinach lasagna meets grilled Mexican seasoned chicken in this delicious and romantic dinner for two.
This lasagna for two is very easy to prepare and uses “no cook oven ready” noodles. It is so incredibly flavorful you may never make regular lasagna again. Direct quote from my husband “This may be the BEST lasagna I have ever had!”
You can also substitute ground beef for the chicken by browning the beef and adding the same seasonings to it.

How to make Chicken Florentine Lasagna
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C).
Season the chicken on both sides with the cumin and adobo seasoning. Click for adobo seasoning.
Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through, then dice or shred.
Break the noodles in half carefully.
In a small nonstick skillet add the cream cheese and spinach. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes until cream cheese is melted. Add 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and stir until melted.
Spray the bottom of two oven-safe individual baking dishes with non-stick spray then cover each with spaghetti sauce. Click for two 18.6 ounce oven safe baking dishes.
Top each with half of a noodle.
Spoon a quarter of the spinach mixture into each dish.
Add a quarter of the grilled chicken to each dish.
Top each with more spaghetti sauce and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers except for the cheese. Save it for topping after the bake cycle.
Cover with tinfoil and bake for 40 minutes or until heated through.
Add ¼ cup of cheese to the top of each dish and bake for 5 more minutes.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot dishes on top of pot holders or cork trivets to protect surfaces.
