This recipe is a recreation of my friend's favorite Lean Cuisine (they have discontinued it). I don't create my own recipes very often so any input that could improve the final product would be appreciated.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 2h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb cooked chicken breast, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups lowfat mozzarella cheese
16 ounces low-fat ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1 cup parmesan cheese
9 lasagna noodles (I precooked mine)
white sauce
1/4 cup flour
1 quart skim milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-cook your lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Set aside.
  • Saute onions and mushrooms in the butter until all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated and the onions have softened.
  • Add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the skim milk and cook over low heat stirring frequently until the sauce has thickened.
  • Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and 1/3 cup parmesan cheese.
  • Stir until cheese has melted and add chicken breast and spinach. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix ricotta, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and egg until well blended.
  • Begin to layer the lasagna (I used a deep 9x9 stoneware dish I had, but a 13x9 dish would work as well).
  • Spread a small amount of sauce over the bottom of your pan.
  • Cover sauce with one layer of pasta.
  • Spread 1/2 the ricotta cheese mixture and 1/3 of the remaining mozzarella over the pasta.
  • Cover the cheese with 1/3 of the remaining sauce.
  • Add another layer of pasta.
  • Spread the remaining ricotta mixture and 1/2 the remaining mozzarella over the pasta.
  • Cover the cheese with 1/2 of the remaining sauce.
  • Add a final layer of pasta.
  • Cover the pasta with the remaining sauce and cover the pan with foil.
  • You will have some mozzarella and parmesan cheese leftover. Reserve this for later.
  • Bake the lasagna at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Uncover the dish and sprinkle the remaining cheeses over the top.
  • Return to the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and the lasagna is bubbling around the edges.
  • Let the lasagna rest for 15-20 minutes before serving.

The lasagna was a bit dry. I think I would add more sauce next time.

The chicken florentine lasagna was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

The lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and Italian seasoning next time.
