Equipment

  • high-speed blender
  • skillet
  • 9x13 baking dish
  • foil

Ingredients
  

Lasagna Layers

  • 9 sheets gluten-free lasagna noodles cooked and drained
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie or meal-prepped
  • 2 cups baby spinach or kale
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Dairy-Free Cashew Cream

  • 1.5 cups raw cashews soaked 4 hours or boiled 10 min
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk almond, oat, or soy
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Optional Topping

  • gluten-free breadcrumbs optional topping
  • fresh chopped parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Drain soaked cashews and blend with plant milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Add more milk to thin if needed.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Sauté onion until translucent. Add garlic and spinach. Cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread a thin layer of cashew cream on the bottom. Layer noodles, veggies, chicken, and more cashew cream. Repeat layers. Finish with cream and optional breadcrumbs.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Boil cashews if short on soaking time. For variation, add tomato sauce between layers or use roasted mushrooms for a vegan version. Resting after baking improves texture.
