Why I love this recipe
This Chicken Lasagna Florentine is very easy to prepare and uses “no-cook oven-ready” noodles. It is so incredibly flavorful that you may never make regular lasagna again. Direct quote from my husband: “This may be the BEST lasagna I have ever had!”

Pro tips
Consider using ground beef or ground turkey as a substitute for chicken. Simply brown the meat and mix in the same seasonings for a delectable flavor that complements the dish.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.

Chicken and Spinach Lasagna Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 lasagna no-boil noodles
- 8 ounces boneless chicken
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 12 ounces spaghetti sauce (divided)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the chicken on both sides with the cumin and seasoned salt. Butterfly it in half if it is very thick.
- Grill or pan-fry the chicken about 5 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, then dice or shred.
- Break the noodles in half carefully.
- In a high-sided skillet sprayed with non-stick spray, add the cream cheese and spinach. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes until the cream cheese is melted.
- Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese and stir until melted.
To Assemble:
- Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray and pour in some spaghetti sauce, just enough to cover the bottom.
- Layer with 4 half noodles.
- Spoon 1/2 of the spinach mixture over the noodles.
- Add 1/2 of the chicken to the dish.
- Top with half of the remaining spaghetti sauce and 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Repeat the layers except for the cheese. Save it for topping after the bake cycle.
- Cover with tinfoil and bake 50-60 minutes.
- Remove the foil and add 1/2 cup of cheese to the top of the dish. Bake 5 more minutes.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can also substitute ground beef or ground turkey for the chicken by browning the meat and adding the same seasonings to it.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
