Description

This comforting Chicken Lasagna swaps traditional red sauce for a velvety white cream sauce infused with spinach and herbs.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190°C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Rinse with cold water and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat. Whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in milk, chicken base, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, basil, black pepper, and onion powder. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  6. Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze out excess water using a colander or clean kitchen towel.
  7. Stir the drained spinach, shredded carrots, sliced mushrooms, and diced cooked chicken into the white sauce. Season with salt to taste.
  8. In a large baking dish or hotel pan, spread a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom.
  9. Layer with lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the chicken-spinach sauce, then a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
  10. Repeat layers two more times, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with remaining sauce and a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
  11. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  12. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  13. Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before cutting into 4x8 inch portions to allow it to set.
