Rosemary Chicken Lasagna

Watch my step by step instruction video 

Who doesn't love Lasagna? This recipe comes all the way over from Vancouver Island from my good friend Lyndsay Wells the Kitchen Witch. I've never met Lyndsay face to face, however I feel like we are soul sisters. We have so much in common from appearing on the same TV show Recipe to Riches, to running our own blogs and youtube channels. We both have full time jobs are are driven by our passion for food to make videos and recipes so everyone can enjoy! 

Late last year Lyndsay and I decided to do our first youtube collab together and decided to schedule somewhere in Feb. The plan was to swap recipes and see how we made out. I scanned Lyndsay's channel and boy does she have a LOT of recipes. There was one that caught my eye almost immediately and that is the recipe I am going to share today – Rosemary Chicken Lasagna with Mushrooms, Kale and Spinach. It's Lasagna without a hint of tomato sauce and swaddled with cheese – to die for. Here is the recipe!
