Chicken Lasagna (Freezer Meal)

This recipe is one of my most requested. I made it once for my grandparents and it spread through the family like wild fire after that. They all call it “Lexi’s yummy spinach lasagna” And I know it must be good, my two year old asks for seconds of this dish. Don’t be fooled by the simple ingredients and the spinach, this is really yummy. I take it to all of my friends after they have babies and they all thank me for delivering the recipe along with it. Serve with a salad and some garlic bread and you have a winner!
