Ingredients

2 boxes (10 oz each) frozen chopped spinach
2 1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend (10 oz)
2 jars (15 oz each) Alfredo pasta sauce
12 uncooked lasagna noodles
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese (2 oz)
1 medium tomato, diced

Steps

1

Cook and drain spinach as directed on package; squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
2

Spray 5-quart oval slow cooker with cooking spray.
3

In large bowl, mix 1 cup of the cheese blend and the Alfredo sauce.
4

In slow cooker, spread one-fourth of the sauce mixture. Layer with 3 of the uncooked noodles (breaking noodles as needed to fit), one-third of the chicken, one-third of the spinach and 1/2 cup of the cheese blend. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining noodles, sauce mixture and the Parmesan cheese.
5

Cover; cook on Low heat setting 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours or until edges are bubbly and center is heated through. Let stand 10 minutes; sprinkle with diced tomato before serving.

This recipe uses 2 boxes of frozen spinach, but if you’d prefer less, you can use just one box.
Cooked and drained frozen chopped broccoli makes a nice substitute for the frozen spinach.
