How to Make Lighter White Sauce Chicken Lasagna

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
In a large bowl, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 cups cooked and cubed chicken.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer 3 lasagna noodles. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles. Top with 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and 5 ounces fresh spinach.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layers: 3 lasagna noodles, remaining chicken mixture, remaining mushrooms and spinach.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top with the remaining 3 lasagna noodles. Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over the top.
Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil, ensuring it doesn't touch the cheese. Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow the lasagna to set. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
