Chicken And Italian Sausage Alfredo Lasagna Recipes

CHICKEN ALFREDO LASAGNA

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the chicken breast with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the chicken on medium heat until it registers 165 degrees F in the middle, about 5 minutes on each side. Cube the chicken and set aside.
• For the alfredo sauce: In the same pan that the chicken was cooked in, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until the garlic has softened, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. (Be careful not to brown the roux.) Add the milk and heavy cream a little at a time, making sure to whisk until smooth after each addition, and let thicken, about 5 minutes. Add the nutmeg and pepper. Whisk to combine. Turn off the heat and mix in 2 1/2 cups Parmesan. Stir until all the cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Layer 1 cup of the alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Add 3 lasagna noodles. Spread another cup of alfredo, a third of the chicken, a sprinkle of parsley and a quarter of the mozzarella. Then add 3 more noodles and repeat the layering two more times, ending with alfredo sauce, the remaining mozzarella and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan.
• Bake until browned on top, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the lasagna from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting into it.

SAUSAGE SPINACH ALFREDO LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until evenly brown. Drain, and mix in the spinach and Alfredo sauce. Season with pepper. Continue cooking until spinach and sauce are heated through.
• In a bowl, mix the Cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
• In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer 1/3 of the sausage mixture, 1/3 of the noodles, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice, and top with mozzarella cheese.
• Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

ALFREDO CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Place chicken, seasoned salt, and 1 tablespoon garlic in a pot and pour enough broth over top to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred when cool enough to handle. Discard broth.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse with cold water, drain, and lay out on aluminum foil to cool.
• Mix ricotta cheese, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning together in a large bowl; set aside.
• Combine Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and pepper in a pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and mushrooms. Saute until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and remaining 1 tablespoon garlic; cook until spinach is tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add spinach mixture to the ricotta mixture. Add tomato and mix well.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Put enough sauce in a 9x13-inch casserole dish to cover the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of sauce, followed by all of the ricotta mixture, 3 more noodles, all of the shredded chicken, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, 3 remaining noodles, the remaining sauce, and the remaining mozzarella. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 45 minutes.

CHICKEN AND ITALIAN SAUSAGE ALFREDO LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 - makes 1 13×9″ pan.
• In a frying pan on medium heat add 1 T Olive Oil. When heated, add 1 clove garlic and half of the chopped onions and cook until translucent (about 2 minutes). Add chicken, bulk sausage, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning, and Paprika. Cook until meat is cooked thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside in single layer so they don't stick together.
• In a small bowl combine Ricotta Cheese, egg, and 1 T Italian Seasoning - set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat - use remaining Olive Oil (1T), 1 clove garlic, and remaining onions. Heat until translucent. Add heavy whipping cream. When warmed, add 2-1/2 cups shredded Parmesan. Cook stirring constantly until cheese melts but DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL - turn the heat down if it gets too warm.
• Assembly: Put a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom of your 13×9″ pan. Top with enough noodles for a single layer. I use wide-lasagna noodles so it takes 3 to do each layer for a total of 9 noodles.
• Top the noodles with 1/2 of the Ricotta Cheese mixture.
• Add 1/2 of the meat.
• Add 1/3 of the Mozzarella Cheese and sprinkle with scant tsp Italian Seasoning.
• Repeat and finish with white sauce, reserved Parmesan, Mozzarella, and sprinkle with scant tsp of Italian Seasoning.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. If the top starts to brown too much, cover in foil. Remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes before cutting.
