🥄 Step by step: instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

1. In a deep pot, pour milk, broth, bay leaves, onions, rosemary, and cardamom pods. Bring to a gentle simmer on medium-low heat. Add chicken and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes until done. Remove chicken from pot and set aside. When the chicken cools down, place it on a cutting board and shred it. Reserve the milk broth mixture to make the sauce.
2. In a large skillet melt butter and add mushrooms, keep stirring until mushroom cooks. Stir in spinach and stir until welted. Remove mixture and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add butter and oil on medium heat add garlic and saute until lightly golden. Add flour and keep stirring for a couple of minutes. Gradually add the milk broth mixture 1 cup at a time, whisking continuously until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese and black pepper. Taste to adjust seasoning.
4. Set aside 2 ½ cups of the sauce aside then add the mushroom mixture to the sauce. Mix in shredded chicken.
5. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking oil. Smear some sauce (not the one with chicken) at the bottom of the casserole. Cover with lasagna sheets. Top with half the mushroom chicken mixture, then ½ cup mozzarella cheese then cover with lasagna sheets.
6. Pour the remaining half of the mushroom mixture then another ½ cup of mozzarella cheese then cover with a final layer of lasagna sheets. Pour over the sauce we preserved before then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil loosely and bake in the center of your oven for 25-30 minutes.
7. Remove foil and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown.
8. Let stand for 15 minutes then cut and serve.

👩‍🍳 Variations to make it your own

• If you don't want to make your chicken, you can also shred a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store instead. 
• You can add a layer of ricotta cheese or cottage cheese in between the layers if you want to add a little extra cheese to this family-favorite recipe. 
• Add more flavor to your homemade alfredo sauce by adding Italian seasoning, basil, or oregano to suit your tastes. 

👍 Let's make the perfect recipe: Amira's tips

• If you are boiling your lasagna noodles, I recommend that you boil them to al dente because they will continue to cook in the oven and you don't want mushy noodles. 
• I like to spray my casserole dish well with nonstick cooking spray, to prevent the lasagna from sticking to the baking dish. 
• Make sure that you start the layers with the creamy sauce on the bottom of the pan, this helps to keep the bottom layer of pasta from burning or sticking to your pan. 

🧺 How to store leftovers

Refrigerate - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. 

Freeze - You can also freeze this lasagna recipe for later. Just wrap the casserole dish in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then store it in the freezer for up to 3  months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. 

Reheat - I've found the best way to reheat this dish, is in the oven. In a 350-degree oven bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until warm and bubbly. You can also reheat single servings in the microwave for 1-2 minutes at a time. 

⌛ Make Ahead

​One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you can prep this lasagna the day before. And, then the next day just add a couple extra minutes to the baking time since your lasagna will be cold when you add it to the oven.
