Cheesy Chicken Spinach and Artichoke Lasagna

This Cheesy Chicken Spinach and Artichoke Lasagna was a happy accident born out of necessity.  In a bit of a dinner time bind, I took no boil lasagna noodles and slathered them with a mixture of  spinach and chopped artichokes along with the same seasonings we love in spinach artichoke dip. I added a layer of cooked chicken giving it a bit of a twist turning it into a main dish. The noodles are layered with lots of cheese and rotisserie chicken then topped off with a drizzle of prepared Alfredo sauce.  It comes together with ease and bakes like a dream.  Easy enough for a weekday impressive enough for company.

On the particular day I made this, I had a hungry family plus friends to feed in a hurry and I had to get creative with what I had in my fridge and pantry. If you’ve been with me very long you know I never leave Costco without a rotisserie chicken, even if I don’t plan on using it right away. I immediately remove the meat from the bone, wrap tightly and freeze.  It’s a true lifesaver on days when I need to put together a meal that will satisfy my hungry family and friends.

Due to using rotisserie chicken, the filling requires no additional cooking at all and using no boil noodles makes it even easier.  If needed, you can certainly assemble this lasagna in advance then have it ready to pop into the oven when you get in from a busy day.  If you love spinach artichoke dip you’ll flip for this main dish lasagna featuring the same flavors.  It doesn’t get any better than that.
