Directions:Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add oil and then the onions, garlic, mushrooms, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms soften while stirring occasionally. Make sure all of the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated before moving to step 3.
Stir in spinach; cook until wilted and all of its moisture has evaporated. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cooked chicken. Set it aside.
In a small bowl make a slurry by whisking together 1/2 cup chicken stock with flour. It should be thick milky consistency. Set it aside. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, milk, nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a slow simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture starts to bubble up around the edges, add the slurry while whisking nonstop. Simmer until thickened, about 5-8 minute, whisking occasionally. Stir in Parmesan cheese and then remove from heat.
Pour 1/2 cup sauce into bottom of 10X10 square baking dish, top with 2 noodles, 1 cup chicken mixture, 1 cup sauce, and 1/4 cup mozzarella, making sure noodles are covered with sauce. You can even press them down lightly. Repeat 3 more layers with noodles, chicken, sauce, and cheese. Last layer will have slightly more sauce and remaining cheese on top.
Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes longer. If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes for golden brown top. Let stand 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving. |

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OVEN READY LASAGNA NOODLES AND REGULAR NOODLES?
Oven-ready or no-boil lasagna noodles do not need to be boiled before using. They soften during baking. Whereas regular noodles need to be boiled or at least par-boiled before use.
HOW DO YOU SUBSTITUTE NO-BOIL LASAGNA NOODLES FOR REGULAR NOODLES?
Fill a large rectangular dish with the hottest tap water. Add regular lasagne noodles and soak in water for 20 minutes. Move the noodles around occasionally with a pair of tongs so they don’t stick. Drain and lay flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
SHOULD SPINACH BE COOKED BEFORE PUTTING IN LASAGNA?
Yes. The spinach is high in water content and has to be cooked before adding to the lasagna, otherwise, it will make the lasagna soggy and/or watery. Use fresh baby spinach or frozen-thawed and drained spinach.
WHAT CAN I SUBSTITUTE FOR MUSHROOMS?
Substitute mushrooms with canned quartered artichokes or fresh zucchini. If using artichokes, add them towards the end with the chicken.
CAN I MAKE THIS LASAGNA IN A 9X13 PAN?
You certainly can but I recommend doubling the recipe then.
WHAT IS THE CORRECT ORDER TO LAYER A LASAGNA?
The correct order for this chicken mushroom lasagna is as follows:
noodles
chicken
