Ingredients

- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb lean ground chicken
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- ½ tsp salt
- black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups milk, I use 2% ultra-filtered milk

- 3 cups small broccoli florets
- ⅔ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 2 big handfuls baby spinach
Equipment
Instructions
- Add olive oil to your pot and heat to medium.
- Add onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until translucent and soft.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 1-minute, or until just fragrant.
- Make room in the pan and add ground chicken, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook and crumble until minimal pink remains, stirring the seasoning into the mixture as everything cooks.
- Stir in flour. Let this cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you can't see any white remaining.
- Add broth and milk. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. As soon as you notice the mixture starting to bubble, turn the heat down to medium-low.
- Stir in noodles and broccoli. Cover again and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the noodles are cooked to al dente. Make sure it stays at a low simmer throughout, or your milk could curdle.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in parmesan and spinach until spinach is fully wilted.
- Cover and let it rest for 5-minutes.
- Serve with additional grated parm, freshly cracked black pepper, and/or extra red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
Notes
- 8 lasagna sheets is equal to about 6 ounces of dried pasta.
- If you use a short pasta instead of lasagna noodles, you’ll likely need less time to simmer.
