Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
9 no-boil lasagna noodles
15 oz ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 cups marinara sauce
2 cups fresh spinach
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes per side until golden brown. Shred the chicken once slightly cooled.
In a bowl, mix ricotta, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt until creamy.
Spread a layer of marinara sauce in the baking dish and place three lasagna noodles on top.
Layer half of the shredded chicken, half of the cheese mixture, and half of the spinach. Repeat layers using remaining ingredients.
Finish with a final layer of noodles topped with marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
