Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles
½ cup butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups milk
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken meat
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and rinse with cold water.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in the flour and salt, and simmer until bubbly. Mix in the broth and milk, and boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with the basil, oregano, and ground black pepper. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with 1/3 of the noodles, the ricotta, and the chicken. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles over the chicken, and layer with 1/3 of the sauce mixture, spinach, and the remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Arrange remaining noodles over cheese, and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with parsley and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven.

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped and drained
1.5 (8 ounce) packages low-fat cream cheese
1 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
12 lasagna noodles, cooked
12 slices whole milk mozzarella

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, artichokes, 1 cup mozzarella, grated parmesan, ½ the basil and tomatoes. Set aside.
In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, ½ and ½ and garlic until well combined. Using a spoon, stir in half the basil. Set half of the cream cheese mixture aside and stir the remaining half in with the chicken mixture.
Take half of the cream cheese mixture (without the chicken) and spread it into a 9x13 baking dish, covering the bottom. Lay 3 noodles on top and then top with ⅓ of the chicken mixture. Repeat the noodles and chicken mixture two more times, ending with a noodle layer.
Top with the last half of the cream cheese mixture.
Place the whole milk mozzarella slices on top in rows of three, like shown.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over everything, and then top with more basil if desired.
Bake 25 minute or until heated through.
Slice and serve! Enjoy!

Tips:

For a crispier lasagna, boil the lasagna noodles for a shorter time, about 2-3 minutes less than the package instructions.
Make sure to drain the chicken and spinach well before adding them to the lasagna. This will prevent the lasagna from becoming too watery.
If you don't have ricotta cheese, you can substitute it with cottage cheese or cream cheese.
To make the lasagna ahead of time, assemble it and bake it according to the instructions. Then, let it cool completely and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until it's heated through.
For a vegetarian version of this lasagna, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers.
