CHICKEN ALFREDO LASAGNA



Chicken Alfredo Lasagna image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large chicken breast or 2 small chicken breasts (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups shredded Parmesan
9 oven-ready lasagna noodles
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus additional for garnish
12 ounces shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breast with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the chicken on medium heat until it registers 165 degrees F in the middle, about 5 minutes on each side. Cube the chicken and set aside.
  • For the alfredo sauce: In the same pan that the chicken was cooked in, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until the garlic has softened, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. (Be careful not to brown the roux.) Add the milk and heavy cream a little at a time, making sure to whisk until smooth after each addition, and let thicken, about 5 minutes. Add the nutmeg and pepper. Whisk to combine. Turn off the heat and mix in 2 1/2 cups Parmesan. Stir until all the cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Layer 1 cup of the alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Add 3 lasagna noodles. Spread another cup of alfredo, a third of the chicken, a sprinkle of parsley and a quarter of the mozzarella. Then add 3 more noodles and repeat the layering two more times, ending with alfredo sauce, the remaining mozzarella and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan.
  • Bake until browned on top, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the lasagna from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting into it.

Provided by Hollinhead77

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons seasoned salt (such as Mrs. Dash® Italian blend)
2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth, or as needed
9 lasagna noodles
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg
dried Italian seasoning, divided
2 (16 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce, or more to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small white onion, diced
¼ cup chopped baby bella mushrooms
1 (6 ounce) package fresh spinach
1 roma tomato, seeded and chopped
1 (16 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • Place chicken, seasoned salt, and 1 tablespoon garlic in a pot and pour enough broth over top to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred when cool enough to handle. Discard broth.
  • Meanwhile, 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. Rinse with cold water, drain, and lay out on aluminum foil to cool.
  • Mix ricotta cheese, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning together in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Combine Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and pepper in a pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and mushrooms. Saute until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and remaining 1 tablespoon garlic; cook until spinach is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add spinach mixture to the ricotta mixture. Add tomato and mix well.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Put enough sauce in a 9x13-inch casserole dish to cover the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of sauce, followed by all of the ricotta mixture, 3 more noodles, all of the shredded chicken, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, 3 remaining noodles, the remaining sauce, and the remaining mozzarella. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

1 pound button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
7 cups milk
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 pound spinach, stemmed, washed, blanched and roughly chopped
3 cups grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for coating casserole dish

2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often until the mushrooms are browned and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and saute until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, to make a light roux, about 2 minutes.

Sear the chicken, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool and set aside. When cool, cut into bite size pieces.

Lay 3 sheets of pasta across the bottom of the dish and spread 3/4 cup of the bechamel sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle 1/4 of the chicken over the bechamel sauce, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the remaining Parmesan. Lay another 3 sheets of pasta over the chicken. Repeat 2 additional times with the remaining bechamel sauce, chicken, Parmesan, and pasta, ending with a layer of pasta covered with bechamel sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan over the bechamel sauce and scatter the butter pieces over the top.

  • In the residual oil (drain some if necessary), toss in the garlic and onions, stirring constantly until the mixture has started to brown.
  • Pour in the cream, stirring until it starts to boil, then add the parmesan and parsley.
  • Cook for 1 additional minute, then remove from heat.
  • In a 9" x 13" (23cm x 33cm) rectangular baking pan, spread about ¼ of the cream mixture on the bottom.
  • Lay enough lasagna noodles to cover the sauce, then spread about ½ of the remaining cream mixture on top.
  • Place enough chicken breasts to cover the sauce, then sprinkle with half of the mozzarella, followed by half of the bacon and half of the parsley.
  • Repeat the layers once more, starting with noodles, sauce, chicken, bacon, parsley, and mozzarella.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
  • Cool for about 15 minutes, slice, and serve!
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN ASPARAGUS HOLLANDAISE LASAGNA



Chicken Asparagus Hollandaise Lasagna image

This lasagna is outrageously delicious! If you prefer more sauce, use 3 packages of Knorr's hollandaise sauce mix. The basil and oregano may be adjusted to suit taste. This lasagna will really fill a 13x9 baking dish very high. I have even used canned sliced mushrooms (about 3-4 cans, very well drained), but I have to say that the fresh is much better. You will really love this dish!

CHICKEN PARMESAN LASAGNA



Chicken Parmesan Lasagna image

Our cheesy mashup of chicken Parmesan and baked lasagna is towering with layers of crisp chicken cutlets, tomato sauce and three cheeses. We love this dish hot and bubbly right out of the oven, but it is also delicious rewarmed as leftovers. Sprinkle with an extra pinch of Parmesan before serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
4 large eggs
2 cups panko
1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups whole milk ricotta
One 32-ounce jar prepared tomato sauce
12 no-boil lasagna noodles (from one 9-ounce box)
2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with racks in the center and lowest positions. Put a foil-lined baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any drips.
  • Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into thirds, making 9 equal pieces (they should look like large chicken tenders). Put one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board. Put a piece of chicken in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with flat side of a meat mallet until it is very thin, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Whisk together the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, several grinds of black pepper, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using in a shallow dish until combined. Whisk 3 eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second shallow dish. Whisk together the panko, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 2 teaspoons salt, the remaining 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using in a third shallow dish.
  • Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat. Let the excess egg drip off, then press the chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat and packing the crumbs into any crevices. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet or large plate and repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets.
  • Line a clean rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 pieces of breaded chicken and cook, flipping once, until the breading is golden-brown and crisp and the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet to drain, then season with salt. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and chicken, making 3 batches total.
  • Whisk the ricotta, remaining 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until smooth and combined.
  • Spoon a quarter of the tomato sauce (about 3/4 cup) into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish and top with 4 noodles, placing them against the edges of the pan in an even layer (it's ok if they overlap). Spread a third of the ricotta mixture (about 2/3 cup) in an even layer over the noodles and top with 3 pieces of chicken. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Repeat with another 3/4 cup of tomato sauce, 4 noodles, 2/3 cup ricotta, 3 pieces of chicken, 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Finally, add another 3/4 cup tomato sauce, the remaining 4 noodles, the remaining 2/3 cup ricotta and the remaining 3 pieces of chicken. Top with the remaining 3/4 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. (It's ok if the lasagna is slightly higher than the edges of the pan.) Cover the pan tightly with nonstick aluminum foil (see Cook's Note).
  • Bake until the noodles are tender and the edges are lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Uncover the lasagna and bake until the cheese has completely melted and browned in spots, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lasagna noodles. There are two main types of lasagna noodles: regular and no-boil. Regular lasagna noodles need to be boiled before assembling the lasagna, while no-boil noodles can be used without boiling. If you're short on time, no-boil noodles are a good option.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. The classic lasagna cheese combination is ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan, but you can use any type of cheese you like. Some good options include cheddar, Gruyère, Fontina, and Asiago.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what makes lasagna so delicious, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. You can use your favorite tomato sauce, or you can make your own from scratch.
  • Layer the lasagna properly. The traditional order of layers in a lasagna is: noodles, sauce, cheese, noodles, sauce, cheese, and so on. You can also add other ingredients to the layers, such as cooked chicken, vegetables, or mushrooms.
  • Bake the lasagna until it's bubbly and golden brown. The lasagna is done baking when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a lasagna that everyone will love. Whether you're looking for a classic lasagna recipe or something a little more unique, you're sure to find it in this collection of lasagna recipes. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
