CHICKEN FLORENTINE LASAGNA WITH BACON RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly grease a 12 x 9 x 2 1/2-inch baking dish. To assemble your lasagna, add a thin layer of the Creamy Sauce to the bottom of the baking dish, and spread evenly. Add 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, and add in another, more generous, layer of the sauce. Next, sprinkle over about half of the diced chicken, followed by about 1 cup of the shredded parmesan and 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella. Next, sprinkle over about half of the bag of baby spinach, followed by about 1/3 of the chopped bacon. Repeat with another layer of 4 lasagna noodles, more sauce, the rest of the chicken, another cup of parmesan and mozzarella cheese, the remainder of the baby spinach, and another 1/3 of the chopped bacon; then, cover with the last layer of four lasagna noodles. Finish by topping the noodles with sauce, then sprinkle over the last cup of parmesan cheese, the last 2 cups of mozzarella cheeses, and the teaspoon of Italian seasoning; bake for about 20-25minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Garnish with the remainder of the chopped bacon and the chopped parsley, and serve. CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE: Add the milk and the chicken base to a large saucepan or medium pot, whisk to combine, and bring to the simmer; then, turn off the heat. While the milk heats, add the butter to another large saucepan or medium pot, along with the garlic, and place over medium heat; allow to melt together, and stir the garlic into the butter to soften. Sprinkle the flour into the melted butter/garlic, and stir to combine; stir for about 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw taste of the flour. Next, slowly add the hot milk into the butter/garlic/flour mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps form forming, and allow the sauce to simmer for a few moments until thickened. Once thickened, turn off the heat and finish by whisking in a pinch or two of salt, the black pepper, the nutmeg, the Italian seasoning, and the parmesan cheese; keep warm, or allow to completely cool and keep in fridge to use later.

CHICKEN FLORENTINE LASAGNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Noodles -- Now I do this a little different than most. I bring a 13x9 pan on the stove and fill with water and bring to a light boil. I then boil my noodles flat. To me they boil quicker and less chance of tearing being flat in a pan. Just 5 or so minutes and they are done. Then remove them to a sheet of parchment paper to cool. About 24 noodles. If you want you can always boil in a large pot of water if you prefer the traditional method.
• Cheese -- Mix the grated fontina, parmesan and ricotta. Make sure to reserve 1 cup the fontina and 1/2 parmesan for the top layer. Add in a pinch of salt, pepper to taste and the fresh parsley.
• Chicken -- To a medium saucepan, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook on medium heat until lightly browned about 5-7 minutes. Then add in the shredded chicken and fresh spinach, thyme and chicken broth and cook until everything is well combined. Just add a little salt and pepper to taste. Just simmer until the broth reduces.
• Bechemel -- 4 / 4/ 4/ -- my basic recipe. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium pot, then add 4 teaspoons of flour and combine, mix well to make a roux and cook just a couple of minutes to get the flour taste out. Then add in 2 cups heavy cream and 2 cups milk and bring to a medium heat to let it thicken, add a pinch of nutmeg.
• Make the Lasagna -- Lay out a noodle, spread with the cheese mixture and then top with the chicken spinach mixture, then another noodle, more cheese and another layer of chicken mixture, then roll.
• In a 13x9 casserole dish add about 1 cup of the bechemel sauce and then place the lasagna rolls, seam side down. Now top with the remaining sauce. Top with the extra fontina and parmesan cheese. Cover and bake 35 minutes at 375, then remove the foil and cook 10 more minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Make sure to let it rest 10 minutes covered before serving.
• Note: I like to use a 13x9, you want to make sure that the pan is not too big and the rolls fit in the pan nicely side by side, this way the sauce tops the rolls and makes a nice crust. You can also make these in individual ramiken or serving dishes, 2 rolls per person. It makes a great way to serve them for a dinner party.
