Description
A comforting gluten-free garlic chicken lasagna packed with flavors, rich cheeses, and fresh spinach.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz gluten-free lasagna noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Combine the ricotta cheese, cooked chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, then stir in 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of your baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer the ingredients: place a layer of gluten-free lasagna noodles, spread half of the ricotta chicken mixture, add half of the garlic spinach mixture, drizzle half of the creamy cheese sauce, add a layer of marinara sauce, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layering process, finishing with a final layer of noodles, marinara sauce, the remaining creamy cheese sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
