Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 20

15 classic lasagna noodles (NOT no-boil)
1 pound shredded mozzarella ((4 cups))
5 tablespoons unsalted butter ((may sub half olive oil))
8 garlic cloves (minced)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 cups half and half
1 tsp EACH onion powder, dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, salt
1/2 tsp EACH dried thyme, pepper, chicken bouillon, red pepper flakes
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups shredded Rotisserie chicken
2 eggs
3 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
1 cup full fat sour cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or 1 tablespoon dried)
1/2 tsp EACH salt, pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 14 oz. can artichoke hearts (chopped, patted VERY DRY)
16 oz. frozen chopped spinach (thawed, patted VERY DRY)

Steps:

  • NOODLES: Place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a long pan. Pour hot tap water over the noodles until they are submerged. Let them soak while you prep the lasagna - at least 30 minutes. Agitate the noodles with your hands occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
  • FILLING: Add all of the Ricotta Filling ingredients to a large bowl and mix until combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • ALFREDO SAUCE: Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat then whisk in flour and garlic. Cook, while stirring for 2 minutes. Turn heat to low then gradually whisk in half and half, chicken broth and all spices/seasonings.
  • Bring to a boil, whisking constantly then reduce heat to medium and simmer, whisking occasionally until thickened (but not overly thick), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted. Stir in chicken until well combined. Add additional milk if needed to thin.
  • ASSEMBLE: Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan. Spread 1 cup Alfredo sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan (layer will be thin). Place 4 noodles (dried off) lengthwise and part of a 5th noodle on top to cover. Spread with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat these layers 2 more times: Alfredo sauce (use one third of remaining Alfredo per layer, about 2 cups), noodles, ricotta, and mozzarella for a total of 3 complete layers. To finish, top with remaining third Alfredo sauce and remaining mozzarella (1 cup).
  • BAKE: Cover lasagna with foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Turn the oven to broil (550 degree F) without moving the lasagna. Broil until the top is golden in spots, about 3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

CHICKEN & BACON LASAGNE



Chicken & Bacon Lasagne image

An alternative to traditional lasagne with chicken, bacon and red pepper.

Provided by profruitcake

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 3

Number Of Ingredients 18

350g chicken, cut into small chunks
Salt & pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 rashers of unsmoked bacon
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, cut into small pieces
2 tbsp tomato Puree
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tsp basil
1 1/2 tsp thyme
1 chicken stock cube
600ml whole milk
1 bay leaf
50g butter
40g plain flour
TOO FINISH
Lasagne sheets
Cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • Season the chicken with salt & pepper and fry with garlic until the chicken is cooked but not browned. Set to one side.
  • Fry the bacon & onion and once the onion is soft add the mushroom, pepper and cooked chicken. Add enough tomato puree to coat the chicken, then stir in the tomatoes. Add thyme & basil to taste, season and bring the sauce to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer with the lid on for 15-20 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Remove the lid and sprinkle in the stock cube. Simmer until the sauce has thickened further.
  • To make the bechamel sauce:
  • Put the milk in a saucepan with the bay leaf and bring to a simmer. Strain into a jug and rinse the pan out. Put the pan back on the heat and gently melt the butter, stir in the flour (use a wooden spoon or mini whisk) and cook for 1 minute, don't let the butter or flour brown at all. Take the pan off the heat and add the milk in 3 stages. At each stage beat or whisk the milk into the flour until it is completely smooth.
  • Once the flour is all in, bring the mixture back up to a simmer, stirring all the time to stop any lumps forming. Once the mixture looks as if it won't thicken any more, simmer it for 5 minutes, stirring/whisking now and then, until it looks really glossy. If you do have a few lumps, just strain the lot through a sieve.
  • But a layer of the chicken sauce into an overproof dish. Add a layer of lasagne, then 1/2 the bechamel sauce. Repeat this again and top with cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 30 mins until the cheese has gone golden. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving.

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM LASAGNE



Chicken & Mushroom Lasagne image

I came up with this recipe for my son's dinner tonight. (The rest of us were having a tomato based lasagne, which he doesn't eat.) I tried keeping this simple for his tastes, so feel free to add extra herbs or vegetables to suit your own tastes! :)

Provided by Sara 76

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 lasagna noodles
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 tablespoon olive oil
500 g chicken breasts, diced
4 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, chopped finely
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon basil
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 cups milk
1 cup cheese, grated
nutmeg
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a saucepan, add chicken and onion, stirring until just cooked. Add mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and basil. Cook until mushrooms are tender. Set aside.
  • Combine butter and flour, cook for 2 minutes. Gradually add flour, stirring continuously. When sauce starts to thicken, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and stir in cheese.
  • Spread a thin layer of the chicken mixture in the bottom of a lasagne dish. Top with a layer of noodles.
  • Add a layer of bechemal sauce, and another layer of noodles.
  • Add remaining chicken, and a layer of noodles.
  • Add remaining bechemal sauce, and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake at 180C for around 40 minutes, or until noodles are tender and cheese is starting to brown.
  • Remove from oven and let stand 20 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your lasagna the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna noodles: The noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the lasagna will not hold together well.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the noodles and vegetables without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, it will make the lasagna watery.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes lasagna so delicious! Be generous with the cheese filling and topping.
  • Let the lasagna rest before slicing: This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set properly. Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Creamy chicken lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy chicken lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends.
