Chicken and Spinach Lasagna

"This recipe makes a lot, but it will freeze well should you decide against grazing over leftovers for a few days, and it's certainly worth making extra if you are going to go to all the trouble of making lasagna in the first place."

directions

  • In a medium saucepan, cook onion in butter until tender.
  • Stir in cornstarch, basil, garlic powder and nutmeg.
  • Add milk all at once.
  • Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; stir in spinach.
  • In medium bowl, stir in together Ricotta and egg.
  • Add mozzarella and half of parmesan; mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Arrange three of the uncooked lasagna pieces in bottom of a greased 12x7 rectangular baking dish.
  • Top with half of spinach mixture, half the cooked chicken and half the Ricotta mixture.
  • Repeat layers.
  • Top with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Now tent the baking dish with foil and seal well (you don't want the foil touching the top of the lasagna). Bake for 60 minutes or until mixture is bubbly.
  • Let stand 10 minutes (with this method you will never need to precook lasagna noodles again) Enjoy!

  1. This was fantastic! The one downside was that I ATE way more than I should have, ruining the supposed first day of my diet :) Thanks so much for the great recipe - I will use it again. BTW I didn't have any milk so I tried about 2/3 cup 1/2 and 1/2 and the rest water - worked out great.
     
  2. My husband and kids really enjoyed this one...it took about 35 minutes to prepare and that was moving as fast as I could because my kids were saying they were "hungry! hungry! hungry!" Since I discovered that I really like the taste of nutmeg, I add it to a lot of stuff! BTW, I was surprised to find that my family enjoyed sprinkling cinnamon on top of the lasagna too! Go figure.
     
  3. This was a lovely lasagne. The only thing I would change would be the chicken - I found it dried out a little so I wouldn't cook it completely first. Thank you teekie for a great recipe.
