Chicken Lasagna Alfredo



From the kitchen of Renee Barkwell Wilson



_______________________________________


When you want to serve something special, this fits the bill. Chicken, leeks, button mushrooms, a cayenne nutmeg buchamel sauce, boursin cheese, spinach, all layered between lasagna noodles and topped with mozzarella.



In a pan:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

olive oil

Brown on both sides.

Thinly slice (about 1/2 wide by 3-4 inches long).

Use this same pan to sauté the leeks and mushrooms in after the chicken has been taken out.

(See Preparation)


Bechamel Sauce:

Sauté:

1/4 c unsalted butter

1 c white or yellow onions

a pinch of cayenne

a pinch on nutmeg

Stir in:

3 c whole milk

10 oz Boursin cheese

salt & pepper

Whisk in:

8 oz frozen spinach 1 egg, lightly beaten


Preparation:

Using the same pan used for the chicken,

Sauté over medium heat, until softened:

olive oil

2 leeks, sliced

Add:

1 lb button mushrooms

2 Tbsp garlic

1 Tbsp thyme

1 Tbsp basil

1 Tbsp oregano

1 Tbsp onion powder

1 tsp cayenne pepper

Cook until the mushrooms are soft, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in:

1/2 c dry white wine

1/2 c chicken broth

juice of 1/2 lemon

salt & pepper

Simmer 8-10 minutes over medium heat until liquid is reduced by half.

Remove from heat & add chicken.


Preheat oven to 350

Assemble in oiled 13x9 pan baking dish as follows:

Layer of lasagna noodles*

Layer of mushroom sauce

Layer of mozzarella**

Layer of bechamel sauce

Follow the same layering technique for 2 more layers.

You do NOT need to cover completely with bechamel or cheese each time, as these will spread during baking.


Over the top layer, spread:

1/2 c grated fresh Parmesan (preferably, Parmigiano-Reggiano)


* 1 lb oven ready lasagna sheets, in all

** 1 lb thinly sliced mozzarella, in all
