Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Prepare lasagne noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.
-
Cut boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.
-
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a light coating of cooking spray.
-
Add chicken cubes and sauté for about 4 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink.
-
Remove chicken from the skillet and drain any excess liquid; set aside.
-
Recoat the skillet with cooking spray and add sliced mushrooms, carrots, and spring onions.
-
Sauté vegetables for about 6 minutes until tender-crisp; set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan, whisk together all-purpose flour and skim milk until smooth.
-
Stir in dry sherry, salt, ground red pepper, and thyme.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 5 minutes.
-
Remove sauce from heat and reserve 1 cup for the top layer; set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Swiss cheese, and 1 cup of the grated mozzarella cheese.
-
Spread the reserved 1 cup of sauce evenly over the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
-
Arrange 4 pieces of lasagne noodles over the sauce, breaking or overlapping as needed to fit.
-
Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles.
-
Layer with half of the cooked chicken and half of the sautéed vegetables.
-
Spread half of the remaining white sauce over the vegetables.
-
Repeat the layers: 4 noodles, remaining cheese mixture, remaining chicken/vegetables, and remaining sauce.
-
Top with the final 4 pieces of lasagne noodles.
-
Spread the reserved 1 cup of sauce over the top layer of noodles to ensure they are completely covered.
-
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
-
Remove foil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
-
Cover loosely with foil again and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
