Combine cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, spinach and poultry seasoning. Stir in cooked chicken.

Spray 13 X 9 glass casserole dish with nonstick spray. Make a layer of dry lasagna noodles. Spread half of sauce mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle half of cheese over sauce mixture. Add another layer of dry noodles, then another layer of sauce and cheese. 

Spray a large sheet of aluminum foil with nonstick spray, then tightly cover casserole dish with sprayed side down. Bake one hour without removing foil.

Remove foil and bake 30-40 minutes more (until noodles feel soft when you stick a fork in.) Top should be slightly browned and lasagna bubbly when it's done.

Remove from oven and let cool 10-15 minutes before cutting.
