Ingredients
  

Lasagna Ingredients
  • 12 oz Lasagna noodles Opt for whole grain or gluten-free if needed.
  • 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken Use rotisserie for convenience.
  • 6 cups Fresh spinach Feel free to substitute with frozen spinach.
  • 15 oz Ricotta cheese Consider cottage cheese as a lighter alternative.
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese Try vegan cheese for a dairy-free option.
  • 24 oz Marinara sauce Choose your favorite brand or homemade.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese For a salty, rich kick.
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning A blend of dried herbs for depth; use fresh if available.
  • 1 tsp Salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Place uncooked lasagna noodles over the sauce, breaking them to fit if necessary.
  3. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, half of the spinach, Italian seasoning, and salt. Spread this mixture over the noodles.
  4. Top with a layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by another layer of marinara sauce, then more noodles. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with marinara sauce and a final layer of mozzarella and parmesan.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
  2. Let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, use mushrooms or zucchini instead of chicken. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and freeze beautifully. Prepare a day ahead for better taste.
