CHEESY CHICKEN LASAGNA

Provided by Carol Prather

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 each skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 (26.5 ounce) cans spaghetti sauce, divided
2 (15 ounce) containers part-skim ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat and add chicken breasts; reduce heat and let simmer until chicken falls apart easily with a fork and is no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain water, shred chicken with 2 forks, and set aside.
  • While chicken is boiling, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and lay noodles in a single, flat layer on a paper towel to dry.
  • Heat butter in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot butter just until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Mix shredded chicken, onion-garlic mixture, 1 cup spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning together in a large bowl.
  • Mix remaining spaghetti sauce and remaining Parmesan cheese together in another bowl. Spread a thin layer on the bottom of a glass 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, spread chicken mixture on top, then add another thin layer of the sauce mixture. Repeat, leaving a final layer of noodles on top. Top with remaining sauce.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (10-ounce) package cremini or white mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 roast chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded (about 2 1/4 cups), and carcass reserved for stock
3 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons thyme leaves
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
12 Barilla no-boil egg lasagne noodles (less than a 9-ounce package)
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated Gruyère (3 ounces)
Equipment: an 8-inch square baking pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425° with rack in middle.
  • Cook mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine and simmer briskly 2 minutes. Transfer mushroom mixture to a large bowl and stir in chicken. (Set aside saucepan.)
  • Bring milk to a bare simmer in a medium saucepan. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in 4-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and cook roux, whisking constantly, 3 minutes. Add hot milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Add thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve 1 cup sauce. Stir parmesan into sauce remaining in pan, then stir into mushroom filling.
  • Pour half of reserved plain sauce into baking pan, spreading evenly to coat bottom. Add 3 lasagne sheets, overlapping slightly, and one third of mushroom filling, spreading evenly, then sprinkle one fourth of Gruyère over top. Repeat 2 times. Top with remaining 3 lasagne sheets and remaining plain sauce, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with remaining Gruyère.
  • Cover with foil, tenting slightly to prevent foil from touching top of lasagne but sealing all around edge, and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is golden, about 15 minutes more. Let lasagne stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have any fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the lasagna to create a rich and flavorful filling.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving, so that the flavors can meld together.

Conclusion:

Cheesy chicken and spinach lasagna is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends.
