How to Make Cheesy Chicken Lasagna
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sprinkle 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp cilantro and 1 tbsp rosemary. Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove chicken from oven, let cool completely, and slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
- Cook 9-12 lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
- Melt 4 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté 8 oz sliced mushrooms until tender; set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups chicken broth, 2 cups milk, 15 oz ricotta cheese, 4 oz cream cheese, 1 tbsp dried basil, and 1 tbsp dried oregano.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened slightly.
- In a 9x13 inch baking pan, spread a thin layer of the cheese sauce.
- Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
- Spread sliced chicken and 5 oz fresh spinach leaves evenly over the noodles.
- Pour half of the remaining cheese sauce over the chicken and spinach.
- Repeat layers: 4 more lasagna noodles, sautéed mushrooms, 1 bell pepper (sliced), and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Pour half of the remaining cheese sauce over the mushroom layer.
- Top with the remaining 4 lasagna noodles, the remaining cheese sauce, and the remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Enjoy with a glass of Burgundy!
