Chicken, Spinach and Artichoke Lasagna
Leftover Chicken, Spinach and Artichoke Lasagna in a cheesy and creamy bechamel sauce, a delicious and easy dinner that takes comfort food to the very next level. If you like the classic spinach and artichoke dip, you will love this chicken lasagna with a twist. Perfect layers of no-boil lasagna sheets, creamy chicken filling and then baked to perfection until bubbly hot. My kind of dinner!

Ingredients
For the bechamel sauce
- 30 g butter (about 2 tbsp)
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 2 cups full-fat milk
- ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the filling
- 1 cup leftover chicken, cut into cubes
- ½ cup frozen spinach, thawed
- ½ cup canned artichokes, chopped
To assemble
- 12 heets lasagna
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pan set over a medium heat, add the flour, and whisk well.
- Pour over the milk, and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens.
- Add the grated cheese, dijon mustard, salt and pepper, and mix well, then remove from the heat.
- Divide the sauce, so that 3 quarters of it can go towards the filling, and the rest for assembling the lasagna.
- Add the chicken, artichokes and spinach, making sure you squeeze the spinach well, so it's not watery.
- Brush the dish with a thin layer of white sauce, arrange one layer of lasagna sheets (see photo no 2), then spread half of the filling over.
- Arrange another layer of lasagna sheets, again filling, and top with other sheets.
- Spread the remaining white sauce all over the top lasagna sheets, and cover with grated cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahreneheit) for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the lasagna is bubbling hot.
