Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

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.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, mix together heavy cream, cream of mushroom soup, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Simmer, stirring frequently, until well blended.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion in olive oil until tender, then add garlic and mushrooms. Mix in the chicken, and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with enough of the cream sauce mixture to coat. Layer with 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/2 cup ricotta, 1/2 of the spinach, 1/2 the chicken mixture, and 1 cup mozzarella. Top with 1/3 the cream sauce mixture, and repeat the layers. Place the remaining noodles on top, and spread with remaining sauce.
  • Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until brown and bubbly. Top with the remaining mozzarella, and continue baking until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

CHICKEN AND SPINACH LASAGNA



Chicken and Spinach Lasagna image

This recipe makes a lot, but it will freeze well should you decide against grazing over leftovers for a few days, and it's certainly worth making extra if you are going to go to all the trouble of making lasagna in the first place.

SPINACH LASAGNA WITH CHICKEN



Spinach Lasagna With Chicken image

I found this recipe on a can of Del Monte spinach. I used fresh spinach instead of the can, chicken instead of beef. It turned out to be a big lasagna, but it was very good. I made it in a 4.5 quart casserole dish. It seems like you could substitute and add a lot of things. I added some zucchini to the chicken. I also used low-fat ricotta and low-fat mozzarella.

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.

CHICKEN AND SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA

This is a wonderful variation on the traditional lasagna with the added healthy benefits of spinach. I like to use whole wheat pasta and grilled chicken breast. When you can't get them to eat their spinach just serve up some of this great lasagna!

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach.
  • Wilt the spinach before using it. Wilting the spinach helps to remove excess moisture and makes it easier to work with.
  • Use a high-quality lasagna noodle. A good lasagna noodle will be firm and not too soft.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna. The lasagna should be cooked until it is heated through but not mushy.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving. This allows the lasagna to set and makes it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Spinach lasagna with chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The lasagna can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a great option for busy families.
