Food and Recipes Recipes Heavenly Chicken Lasagna 5.0 (1) 1 Review There's a lot to love about lasagna for dinner. Whether you're fixing and freezing ahead to make your future meals a cinch or prepping for tonight's feast, there's nothing like a chicken lasagna to make the whole family happy. Layers of sauce, spinach, cheese, and chicken all in one dish? Now that's a surefire way to ensure even the pickiest eaters at your dinner table join the clean plate club tonight. The best part (besides cutting yourself a slice or two, of course)? This chicken pasta dish requires very little hands-on time. All you have to do is mix up a delicious spinach mixture and get to layering in a 13 x 9 baking dish. Your oven does all of the heavy lifting from there. You can even layer all of your ingredients in advance, cover, and chill overnight so that the only thing left on a hectic weeknight is popping that ready-to-bake chicken lasagna in the oven. Now that's something we could do on the busiest school of nights – even after soccer practice.
