Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with Crisco No Stick Cooking Spray; set aside.
   
2. Spray a large skillet with Crisco No Stick Cooking Spray. Over medium heat; add chicken, onion and garlic. Sauté, about 10 minutes, stirring and crumbling the chicken, until onion is translucent. Remove from heat. Stir in spinach and cottage cheese; season with salt and pepper. Mix well; set aside.
   
3. Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add flour; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in chicken broth and 1 cup milk; bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Whisk until mixture is slightly thickened; remove from heat. Stir in nutmeg, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Add up to 1/2 cup of the remaining milk as needed to thin.
   
4. Place 1/2 cup sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan; cover with a layer of lasagna noodles. Pour 1/4 of the remaining sauce over the noodles. Top with 1/4 of the mozzarella and 1/3 of the chicken mixture. Top with another layer of noodles. Pour another 1/4 of the sauce, 1/4 of the cheese and 1/3 of the chicken. Top with another layer of noodles. Pour on another 1/4 of the sauce, 1/4 of the cheese and remaining 1/3 of chicken mixture. Top with lasagna noodles, remaining sauce and cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes; remove foil and bake for 20 minutes more, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
