CREAMY CHICKEN LASAGNA - OAMC
My dh can only eat chicken and turkey. All beef makes him ill, he isn't overly fond of fish. Other meats... well suffice it to say he won't touch. So in viewing my recipes you'll see a plethera of chicken recipes. I'm always striving to find something new. He has 3 response levels to new recipe's 1. I didn't like that (insert reason) 2. He doesn't say anything, when asked ... oh oh it was fine (or good) 3. OMG that was so great, and he eats it like there is no tomorrow. This got a thumbs up from one of the pickiest eaters i've ever met. This is adapted for my OAMC needs. It's a little time consuming but definitely worth the work.

- Start assembling, 1/4 noodles, 1/4 sauce, 1/4 cheese making 2 layers. Add a little basil and crushed red pepper to the top for looks if desired.
- Cover with foil and bake until bubbling (about 40 minutes).
- Uncover and brown for about 5 minutes to brown top slightly.
- Let stand about 20 minutes before cutting and placing in containers to freeze.
- After reading the comments I tried some things. The egg noodles as well as penne pasta worked really well. The type of pasta I used determined the amount of sauce that was left obviously. Just experiment to see what works for you. Using egg noodles or penne seriously cuts the time on this way back. Using frozen carrot/broccoli blends works great too, to cut back on time. Both of those alterations didn't change much, though the frozen veggies changed a little bit of the "fresh" taste in my opinion. If you're doing a day long OAMC marathon, these minor changes might make a big difference. As for the sauce, I think the elevation and dryness of the flour affect the sauce, so does oven temperature Like one reviewer said the sauce thickens as it stands.
CREAMY WHITE CHEESY CHICKEN LASAGNA
what makes this lasagna different is that I add a can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup to the recipe and it is to die for. I also discovered that Campbell's makes a combination cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup in one can so you can have both flavors in this dish.

A wonderful variation on the lasagna theme. Light white sauce and a great taste. I have had this recipe for years, but I think I found it "First" magazine. This can be use for OAMC as well. I use no-cook lasagna noodles to simplify process.

CREAMY CHICKEN CAESAR LASAGNA RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Melt the butter over medium high heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the milk, a little bit at a time, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Whisk in the cream cheese, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust as necessary. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Add the chicken to the sauce mixture and keep over medium low heat. Grease a 9x13 pan and preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover with 3 lasagna noodles. Top with ½ the chicken mixture, 1½ cups kale, ¼ cup sundried tomatoes, and 1 cup mozzarella. Cover with 3 more noodles. Repeat layers, ending with another layer of noodles and the remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes covered with greased foil. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes to brown the cheese. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. NOTES You can also divide this into more layers - just cook a few extra noodles and spread the filling out a bit more over 3 or 4 layers instead of just 2. You can also use the oven-ready noodles that don't require boiling. However, I found it helpful to add a few tablespoons of water to the dish before baking if you do use them.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sauté onion and carrot until softened. 10-12 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, then sprinkle in flour and stir together for 2-3 minutes, or until flour has a chance to cook. Mixture will be thick. Slowly pour in 6 cups chicken broth, saving the last 1 cup to mix the cornstarch into. Pour cornstarch mixture in as well, stirring everything to combine. Add chicken, beans, lasagna noodles, bay leaves and Italian seasoning to soup, then season generously with salt and pepper. Bring mixture up to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until noodles are al dente. Remove and discard bay leaves, then stir thawed spinach into the soup. Pour in heavy cream and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through. Add grated parmesan, then transfer to serving bowls and enjoy! If you'd like add a dollop of ricotta cheese on top.
Tips:
- Use a large pot to cook the chicken so it has plenty of room to simmer.
- Do not overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still tender and juicy.
- Use a variety of cheeses in the lasagna for a more flavorful dish. A good combination is mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses.
- Be sure to season the ricotta cheese mixture well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Use a combination of cooked and uncooked lasagna noodles for a more al dente texture.
- Be sure to let the lasagna rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
Conclusion:
Creamy chicken lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful cheeses, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
