White Chicken Lasagna
White Chicken Lasagna
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Resting Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
Ingredients
9 lasagna noodles
2 pounds cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can also use 4 cups rotisserie chicken)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups half and half, (or equal parts of heavy cream and milk)
5 oz fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
15 oz ricotta
1 large egg
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
3 cups mozzarella cheese, 12 oz by weight, divided (reserve 1 cup for topping)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375˚F.
In a large pot of salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and run cold water over the pasta for a few minutes to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking together. Shred the chicken.
In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add 4 tablespoons butter and whisk in 1/3 cup flour. Continue whisking 3 minutes or until flour mixture is golden.
Add 2-1/2 cups chicken broth, 1-1/2 cups half and half, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Whisk until smooth and simmer 5 minutes until thickened to a light gravy consistency.
Add chopped spinach and stir to combine then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together: ricotta, egg, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan, and 1/4 cup parsley.
In a 9x13” baking dish, add a little in the bottom. Add 3 noodles, 1/2 ricotta sauce, 1/2 shredded chicken then spoon 1/3 of spinach sauce over the chicken. Add 3 noodles, 1/2 ricotta cheese, 1/2 shredded chicken, and 1/3 spinach sauce. Add 3 noodles, remaining 1/3 sauce, and sprinkle on reserved 1 cup cheese.
Arrange 10-12 toothpicks over the top to keep the foil from touching the cheese then cover with a large sheet of foil. Bake on the center rack in a preheated oven at 375˚F for 45 minutes then uncover and broil 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese. Rest at least 10 minutes uncovered before slicing.
