Chicken And Spinach Alfredo Lasagna Recipes

CHICKEN ALFREDO LASAGNA WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Prepare the bottom of a 10x13 pan with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 325.
• Melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add heavy cream. Keep heat on medium-low, stirring frequently, until lightly bubbling.
• Slowly add cheese while stirring. Turn heat down a bit and continue to cook until desired thickness is reached.
• Boil your noodles until they are about 1/2 to 2/3 done, and then drain well and rinse in cold water.
• To prepare the spinach layer, thaw and drain your frozen spinach well. I like to use a fine mesh strainer and really squeeze allllll the liquid out that I can. Once it is well-drained, place it into a medium saute pan with the butter, cream, nutmeg, salt, and garlic. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, ricotta, parmesan, egg, and seasonings. Mix until well combined.
• Layer the ingredients in the pan in this order: noodles, 1/2 of cottage cheese mixture, all of the spinach mixture, 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese, 1/3 of the sauce, noodles, other half of cottage cheese mixture, 1/3 of mozzarella cheese, 1/3 of the sauce mixture, noodles, the rest of the sauce, the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
• Bake lasagna, covered, for 30-40 minutes. Remove the cover during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow for a slight browning of the top layer.
• Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before cutting. While the lasagna is resting, liberally season the chicken with the salt, pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder. Place the olive oil in a large skillet, and heat over medium- low heat.
• Cook slowly over medium-low heat until no pink remains.
• Serve chicken on top of the individual pieces of lasagna.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often until the mushrooms are browned and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and saute until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, to make a light roux, about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly add the milk and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until thickened, 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, pepper, nutmeg, spinach and 1 1/2 cups of the Parmesan and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the bechamel sauce until ready to assemble the lasagna.
• Set a large, 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Season the chicken with the Essence and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and place in the hot pan. Sear the chicken, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool and set aside. When cool, cut into bite size pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat a 9 by 13 by 3-inch casserole with olive oil, and spread about 1/2 cup of the bechamel sauce on the bottom of the dish. Lay 3 sheets of pasta across the bottom of the dish and spread 3/4 cup of the bechamel sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle 1/4 of the chicken over the bechamel sauce, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the remaining Parmesan. Lay another 3 sheets of pasta over the chicken. Repeat 2 additional times with the remaining bechamel sauce, chicken, Parmesan, and pasta, ending with a layer of pasta covered with bechamel sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan over the bechamel sauce and scatter the butter pieces over the top. Place the casserole on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake, uncovered, until bubbly and well browned, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

CHICKEN AND ITALIAN SAUSAGE ALFREDO LASAGNA

Steps:

• Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside in single layer so they don't stick together.
