Provided by Cheri Renee

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Tbsp olive oil
8 oz mushrooms (I used baby portobello) (sliced)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
10 oz spinach leaves
kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes
2 15 oz jars alfredo sauce
1 package Barilla Oven Ready Lasagna sheets (15 sheets total)
1 15 oz container ricotta cheese
1 6 oz jar pesto
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional: fresh parsley to garnish

Steps:

  • Set a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot add the sliced mushrooms. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the garlic and spinach to the skillet. Cook 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.Note: You may need to add the spinach in smaller batches and wait until it cooks down. Spinach will get much smaller as it cooks.
  • Add a few spoonfuls of the alfredo sauce to a 9x13 casserole dish and spread evenly. Lay 4 lasagna sheets flat, overlapping slightly.
  • Mix together the ricotta cheese and pesto. Spread 1/3 of this mixture over the lasagna sheets.
  • Evenly spread 1 cup of the cooked, shredded chicken, 1/3 of the spinach and mushroom mixture, 1/4 of the cheese, and 1/4 of the alfredo sauce. Repeat until you have three layers of lasagna.
  • Top the lasagna with the 4 remaining lasagna sheets, evenly spread the remaining alfredo sauce over top.
  • Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and bake 15 more minutes.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
3 cups heavy cream
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, sliced
5 mushrooms, diced
1 roasted chicken, shredded
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and rinse with cold water.

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.

SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA



Spinach Alfredo Lasagna image

This casserole relies on a jar of store-bought Alfredo sauce to make it different from traditional tomato-based lasagnas. I came up with this recipe after eating a similar dish at a favorite Italian restaurant. While I'm browning the sausage, I soak the noodles in hot water instead of boiling them. It saves time and the dish turns out great. -Beth Stephas, Eagle Grove, Iowa

CHICKEN LASAGNA WITH SPINACH



Chicken Lasagna with Spinach image

My boyfriend and I love chicken lasagna with spinach. I never could find the "one" recipe that I really liked. I have a habit of gathering 3 or 4 different recipes and mixing them up to create my own. I have made this with and without chicken, either way it is wonderful.

Time 2h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
12 fresh mushrooms, sliced
½ cup chopped onion
8 cloves garlic, minced, divided
salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
3 (9 ounce) packages fresh spinach
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups half-and-half
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon crushed dried sage
1 bay leaf
cooking spray (such as Pam®)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (32 ounce) container ricotta cheese
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, mushrooms, onion, 1/2 of the minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in spinach; set aside.
  • While chicken is cooking, bring 2 large pots of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water in one pot, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Drop spinach into the boiling water in the second pot and blanch for 1 minute; pour into a colander to drain.
  • Combine cream, half-and-half, remaining garlic, onion powder, sage, and bay leaf in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power in 1-minute increments until boiling; stir well.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 12x15-inch piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
  • Melt remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour; stir and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue stirring and add cream mixture. Cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, mix ricotta cheese and 3 cups mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl. Fold in 1/4 cup of the cream sauce.
  • Assemble lasagna in a deep 9x13-inch baking dish as follows, spreading ingredients in each layer: 1/2 cup cream sauce, 1/3 of the chicken-spinach mixture, 1/3 of the noodles, 1/2 cup cream sauce, 1/3 of the chicken-spinach mixture, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, 1/4 cup cream sauce, 1/3 of the noodles, 1/2 cup cream sauce, remaining chicken-spinach mixture, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining noodles, remaining cream sauce, remaining Parmesan, and remaining mozzarella. Cover with the aluminum foil, sprayed-side down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top starts to turn golden, about 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
