Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Cook until the onions are caramelized, approximately 25-30 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
In the same skillet, melt the ¼ cup butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and crushed red pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes before adding the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
Spread a small amount of the cream mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. In each lasagna noodle, spread a mixture of ricotta cheese, shredded chicken, and half of the gruyere cheese. Roll up the noodles and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining cream mixture over the rolled noodles and top with the remaining gruyere and grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle chopped spinach on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley before serving.
