Ingredients

White Lasagna Sauce

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups mozzarella grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Chicken Lasagna

  • 12 lasagna sheets cooked according to package instructions (see note)
  • 5 cups mozzarella grated (divided)
  • 10 ounces chopped frozen spinach thawed, and with all the moisture squeezed
  • 8 ounces quartered artichoke hearts chopped and very well drained
  • 3 cups cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn it. Add the flour and whisk into the butter until it is completely combined. Allow it to cook and bubble.
  • Very slowly add the milk. Add a little at a time, whisking the milk into the butter/flour mixture until absorbed before adding more. Continue adding slowly until all the milk is whisked in. Bring to a low boil and then turn down the heat.
  • Stir in the cheese, first the parmesan, allow it to melt, then add the mozzarella one cup at a time allowing to melt before adding the second cup. Stir in the salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Spread a few spoonfuls of the sauce over the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch pan so that it is completely coated. Then add three lasagna sheets. Cover with 1/3 of the artichokes, 1/3 of the spinach, 1 cup of chicken and 2/3 cup of mozzarella. Add a few spoonfuls of the white sauce. Repeat two more times.
  • Add three more lasagna sheets. Top with the remainder of the white sauce and the remainder of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, uncovered. Broil on low for about five minutes, keeping a close eye on it so it does not burn but browns nicely.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes after removing from the oven and then serve.
