Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium high heat. Add lasagna noodles, olive oil and salt and cook until al dente (fully cooked but still firm), or according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside in the pot.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the oil is sizzling hot. Add onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth and flour and whisk until smooth and uniform. The sauce might initially be a little clumpy.
- Whisk in heavy cream and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 5-8 minutes. The sauce should be similar in consistency to a gravy and be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in spinach. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, beaten egg, and parsley. Stir well to combine together. Set aside.
- Evenly spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 9x13 baking pan. Place 3 lasagna noodles evenly apart over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the sauce evenly over the noodles. Sprinkle half the shredded chicken evenly over the sauce. Spread 1/4 of the ricotta cheese mixture on top.
- Add another layer of 3 lasagna noodles. Spread half of ricotta cheese mixture on top.
- Add another layer of 3 lasagna noodles. Spread 1/3 of the sauce evenly over the noodles. Sprinkle remaining half of shredded chicken evenly over the sauce. Spread remaining 1/4 of the ricotta cheese mixture on top.
- Add remaining 3 lasagna noodles. Add remaining 1/3 sauce on top. Top with remaining cup of mozzarella.
- Lightly grease a large piece of aluminum foil and cover the pan with the greased side inside. Greasing the foil prevents the melted cheese from sticking to the foil while baking. Bake the lasagna covered for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes or until the melted cheese turns golden brown and bubbly. Optionally, turn on broiler on high and broil for 3-4 minutes to get a crispy and brown cheesy crust. But keep a close eye on the broiler as things can burn quickly.
- Let the lasagna cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This ensures that the sauce sets and isn't runny when you cut into the lasagna.

Steps:
- NOODLES: Place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a long pan. Pour hot tap water over the noodles until they are submerged. Let them soak while you prep the lasagna - at least 30 minutes. Agitate the noodles with your hands occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
- FILLING: Add all of the Ricotta Filling ingredients to a large bowl and mix until combined. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- ALFREDO SAUCE: Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat then whisk in flour and garlic. Cook, while stirring for 2 minutes. Turn heat to low then gradually whisk in half and half, chicken broth and all spices/seasonings.
- Bring to a boil, whisking constantly then reduce heat to medium and simmer, whisking occasionally until thickened (but not overly thick), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted. Stir in chicken until well combined. Add additional milk if needed to thin.
- ASSEMBLE: Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan. Spread 1 cup Alfredo sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan (layer will be thin). Place 4 noodles (dried off) lengthwise and part of a 5th noodle on top to cover. Spread with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat these layers 2 more times: Alfredo sauce (use one third of remaining Alfredo per layer, about 2 cups), noodles, ricotta, and mozzarella for a total of 3 complete layers. To finish, top with remaining third Alfredo sauce and remaining mozzarella (1 cup).
- BAKE: Cover lasagna with foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Turn the oven to broil (550 degree F) without moving the lasagna. Broil until the top is golden in spots, about 3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
