There is nothing I love more than an Italian Meal! On NYE we were treated to an amazing Italian meal by our friends Courtney and Caroline that included a chicken lasagna dish that was amazing! I have never made a lasagna much less a white one, so I set out to find a great recipe and I think I succeeded! This is definitely not a whip up in a hurry kinda meal but is perfect for Sunday supper or a special family dinner or one of my signature dinner delivered!!! So here we go!!!
Start a big pasta pot full of water boiling!!!
First ingredient: store bought rotissiere chicken! Debone the whole thing and put in a bowl.
Then stir in 2 cups of ricotta cheese.
Set this aside and put your lasagna noodles in to boil. I put 12 in, you only need 9 but they always split and break.
Then melt a stick a butter in a large saucepan.
Once the butter is melted add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic. And let it bubble.
Then add 1/2 cup of AP Flour.
Combine and stir constantly for one minute on medium low heat!!! You will then measure out 1 1/2 cup milk and 2 cups chicken broth.
And slowly whisk that into the flour butter mixture.
2 cups of mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Stir this in until melted.
Then add salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to taste.
Stir and remove from the heat. Your lasagna noodles should be done, drain and rinse with cold water!!! Now assembly begins. You will need a 9x13 dish and put 1/4 of the cheese sauce in the bottom to start.
Then all of the chicken and ricotta mixture.
Add more cheese sauce, Then add 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained.
Then sprinkle with 2 cups of mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan.
3 or 4 more noodles.
Top with the rest of the sauce and your done. (I forgot that picture). Here is the finished product. I baked it at 350 for 1 hour.
Let sit for a few then cut and serve.
