Ingredients
- 1 pound lasagna noodles, 1 lb., cooked according to package directions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken tenders, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 56 ounces stewed, diced or crushed tomatoes, 2 large cans
- 2 teaspoon each, basil, parsley, oregano or use Italian seasoning
- 2 lbs ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 2 teaspoon oregano, dried
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ box frozen spinach can use canned or fresh, sautéed in same pan as chicken
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, sliced about ½ pound of mozzarella cheese.
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 cup mushrooms, sautéed, if desired
Instructions
- Boil pasta according to package directions in a large pot with salted water. Drain the pasta when it is just shy of al dente. It will continue to cook in the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add olive oil to a large skillet and sauté over medium-high heat. Add chicken tenders, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until browned on first side. Add garlic after you have flipped the first side.
- Remove chicken from pan when both sides are brown and allow to cool. Once cooled, chop into bite sized pieces.
- Sauté the spinach if you're using fresh in a bit more olive oil.
- Add mushrooms with a bit more oil if you are using them. Sauté them for about five minutes until tender. Add the canned tomatoes and spices, along with salt and pepper, to the pan.
- Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in the ricotta with egg, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Place about 1 cup of tomato sauce on the bottom of a deep 9x13-inch baking dish or lasagna pan. Top with a single layer of pasta.
- Top pasta with half of the ricotta and spread it over the pasta.
- Top with another layer of pasta, and then spread a generous layer of the tomatoes on top. Sprinkle on the chicken, spinach, mushrooms and mozzarella. Finally, top with a generous layer of parmesan cheese.
- Top that layer with more pasta and repeat the last three steps with the remaining ingredients.
- There should be the perfect amount of everything to repeat two layers of each: the ricotta layer and the sauce layer.
- Bake at 350°F for 1- 1½ hours until hot and bubbly.

Notes
- Serve with a side salad with a vinaigrette dressing and garlic bread, if desired.
- Refrigerate leftovers promptly when cooled.
- Leftovers last for 3-4 days in refrigerator.
- Leftovers can be frozen. I usually cut into individual pieces and wrap in aluminum foil.
- To reheat, thaw thoroughly in the refrigerator. Open the foil package and place on rimmed baking sheet. Heat in oven at 350°F for 30 minutes, until warmed through. Can be microwaved to reheat also. Remove from foil and place on microwave safe plate.
- This lasagna can be made in advance and frozen before baking. Double wrap the baking dish with plastic wrapt and then foil. Freeze it up to three months.
