How To Make my favorite white chicken and cheese lasagne
-
1In a large pot boil 2 to 3 pounds of chicken, ( doesn't really matter if its breast or thighs ) for about an hour. Drain the water and let the chicken cool. ( I usually put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Shred the chicken in a bowl and set aside.
-
2Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Clean the same large pot out and bring lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water and set aside.
-
3Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender stirring constantly. Stir in flour and salt and simmer until bubbly.
-
4Mix in the broth and the milk and boil stirring constantly for 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese. Season with basil and oregano and the black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
5Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Layer with 1/3 of the noodles (3 ) and all of the chicken and ricotta cheese. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles (3) over the chicken and layer with 1/4 of the sauce mixture, the spinach and the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan.
-
6Arrange remaining noodles over cheese and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with parsley and additional 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
-
7Bake for 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before you serve it.
