Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

- 2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
- 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 cups (476 g) heavy cream
- 1 cup (100 g) parmesan cheese, grated
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente according to package instructions
- 1 ½ cups (369 g) ricotta cheese
- 2 cups (280 g) rotisserie chicken, chopped
- 2 cups (226 g) gruyere cheese, shredded, divided
- ½ cup (50 g) parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 ½ cups (45 g) spinach, chopped, divided

Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook until onions soften and caramelize, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate saucepan, melt more butter and add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Cook briefly, then stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese until smooth. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped rotisserie chicken, half the gruyere cheese, and half the spinach. Mix well.
- Spread a layer of the cream sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Fill each lasagna noodle with the chicken mixture and roll up tightly. Place seam side down in the baking dish.
- Top the lasagna roll-ups with the remaining cream sauce, gruyere cheese, parmesan cheese, and spinach. Cover with foil and bake until bubbly, then uncover and brown the top before serving.
Notes
Feel free to substitute the rotisserie chicken with leftover grilled chicken for added flavor.
For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use additional vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
