Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 10 lasagna noodles (broken into pieces)
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves

Preparation:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and set aside. Shred once cooled.
- In the same skillet, add heavy cream, dried basil, and garlic powder. Stir in broken lasagna noodles and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until noodles are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
