Creating Chicken Lasagna may sound intimidating, but following these simple steps will have you enjoying your delicious dish in no time:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
4. Layer Ingredients: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom. Place three lasagna noodles side by side.
5. Add Chicken Mixture: Spread half of the chicken mixture on top of the noodles, followed by a layer of spinach (if using) and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
6. Repeat Layers: Place three more noodles on top and repeat the layering process with sauce, chicken mixture, and mozzarella cheese.
7. Top Layer: Finish the layers with the remaining lasagna noodles, marinara sauce, and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
8. Cover with Foil: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it does not touch the cheese.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
10. Uncover and Bake Again: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
11. Cool and Serve: Allow the lasagna to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
