Easy Chicken Florentine Lasagna
This family-friendly recipe for Chicken Florentine Lasagna uses hummus in its rich, hearty filling. It’s the ultimate weeknight dinner recipe.

As you know, some times I have a lot I want to say. I’m a podcaster. It should come as no surprise.
But sometimes I simply want to say “YOU GOTTA TRY THIS EASY CHICKEN FLORENTINE LASAGNA RECIPE!”

Really, no other explanation needed, but since I’m never at a loss for words….
My youngest son gave this lasagna a “9 and 3/4” on a scale of 1 to 10. (In case you’re wondering why it wasn’t a 10 he informed me “Nothing’s perfect mom. There’s always room for improvement.”)
In that case, I’d say this is as good as it gets.
I used to make a variation of this florentine lasagna any time I was taking a meal to a friend, a new mom or simply wanted a hearty crowd-pleaser. But the version I used before called for cream of something (I forget now what) soup. I’m no cream-of-soup basher, but it’s honestly not something I keep on hand anymore.
Hummus, though. That’s a different story.
When I first created this recipe it was during a Recipe ReDux contest with Sabra hummus. They’d sent me extra samples and I couldn’t let a dollop go to waist. So I did what any resourceful woman would do:
I made florentine lasagna with it, of course.
It makes a rich, creamy filling and helps boost the protein in the recipe. I didn’t do anything fancy or special to make it a lower carb lasagna other than use few lasagna noodles. No weird drying of zucchini planks or turning cauliflower into pasta. It’s just lasagna, with less.. you know… lasagna. But tons of protein, and most importantly tons of flavor.
So if you find yourself with an excess of hummus, a short supply of soup or simply wanting to make a “9 3/4 out of 10 recipe” for lower carb lasagna for dinner tonight, this is the recipe for you. Enjoy! ~Regan

This was absolutely scrumptious. Decadent tasting- but so clean and light!
So glad you enjoyed it!
This looks lovely! Are you able to include salt or sodium in the nutrient analysis at all?
Hi Kate – Yes, I’ll add that right now.
Ok, this sounds amazing. I am with you on keeping low carb simple by just eating less of the noodles & bulking up on the protein. The hummus sounds so good in this!! I need new dinner ideas.
I actually didn’t even set out to make this a lower carb lasagna originally. But I found that it didn’t need 3 layers of noodles and when I looked at the nutrient analysis I was like “Whoop whoop! This fits my macros :)”
