Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken breasts, cubed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 small zucchini (or 1/2 a large one), diced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 cup frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 16 oz container ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3 cup milk
  • 2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Dice the zucchini, onion and carrots until finely chopped. Add to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the ricotta, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder and pepper.
  • While the chicken and veggies cook, melt 1/3 c. butter or margarine in a sauce pan. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, bring to a slow a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese, nutmeg and pepper.
  • In a 13×9 casserole dish, pour a thin layer of the Parmesan cheese sauce. Top with 3 cooked lasagna noodles. Spread a layer of chicken and veggie filling on top of the noodles and pour on more Parmesan sauce. Continue repeating layers until done, ending with a layer of the Parmesan sauce. Top with shredded cheese.
  • Cover lasagna with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting
