Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet onions, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook until the onions are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
In another saucepan, melt ¼ cup of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
In a large bowl, mix ricotta cheese, chopped rotisserie chicken, 1 cup of gruyere cheese, ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of spinach until well-combined.
Spread a layer of the cream sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles on a flat surface. Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over each noodle, then roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Top with the remaining cream sauce and sprinkle with the remaining gruyere cheese and spinach.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Feel free to substitute rotisserie chicken with any cooked chicken.
For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add more vegetables to the filling.
Make sure to cook the lasagna noodles al dente for best texture.
