1

Season 3 boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper, basil, parsley, salt, oregano, and thyme; rub the seasonings on both sides and set aside.

2

Salt a pot of boiling water and boil 10 lasagna sheets for 10 minutes.

3

In a large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil from sun-dried tomatoes over medium-high heat.

4

Cook the chicken in the pan for 7 minutes on each side until fully cooked through, about 14 minutes total.

5

Lower the heat to medium-low and sauté 4 diced onions for 2 minutes.

6

Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the onions and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

7

Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

8

Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and season with oregano, parsley, basil, and black pepper.

Shred the cooked chicken and combine it with the sauce.

11

Stir in a handful of spinach and cook for a couple of minutes until wilted.

12

Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

Lay down a lasagna sheet, scoop on some sauce, and carefully roll it up; repeat for the remaining lasagna sheets, leaving some sauce for topping.
