CHICKEN AND SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA



Chicken and Spinach Alfredo Lasagna image

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!

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.

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.
