Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions, kosher salt, and black pepper; sauté until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  • In another pan, melt ¼ cup of unsalted butter, then add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper; cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and stir until well combined; simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cooked rotisserie chicken, 1 cup of gruyere cheese, grated parmesan, and 1 cup of spinach.Drizzle a bit of cream sauce into the mixture for moisture.
  • Spread a thin layer of the cream sauce at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Fill each lasagna noodle with the chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  • Once all noodles are arranged, pour the remaining cream sauce over the roll-ups, ensuring they are well covered.
  • Top with the remaining gruyere cheese, parmesan cheese, and an additional cup of spinach.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 40 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-packaged.
You can substitute the rotisserie chicken with any shredded cooked chicken you have on hand.
