    Chicken Caesar Lasagna with Spinach

    Lasagna is one of my favorite Italian dishes. Nothing like pasta with meat and a bunch of cheese. But since I promised my wife that I would start making healthier dishes, this Chicken Caesar Lasagna with Spinach recipe is a relatively healthy alternative to classic Lasagna.

    So for this recipe, I made a few substitutions. Instead of red meat, I opted for Chicken. Instead of Red Sauce (Marinara Sauce), I used white Alfredo Sauce with a little spinach and sweet red peppers. I topped off with a little Italian Cheese and voila! An awesome, and hopefully healthier, Italian Lasagna!

    One thing you need to know before you make this recipe is that this is not like your typical Italian Lasagna recipe you would find in your favorite Italian restaurant. This one is very different but delicious!

    🐓 How to Handle Raw Chicken

    Leave the chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
    Be careful of dripping juices. Clean up immediately.
    Do not wash raw chicken (which prevents cross-contamination).
    Wash all utensils and cutting boards (if applicable).
    If marinating the chicken, make sure you toss the juices before you cook. Don't ever use the juice from the marinade.
    Wash your hands after handling raw chicken.

      Had this lasagna for supper last night and it was to die for. Not your regular type of lasagna, but it was even better. Would definitely make this again.

      To me this lasagna is better than any meat lasagna. It’s very tasty.
