DEATH TO DIETERS CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Boil water and cook lasagna noodles.
• When done, drain and run cold water over them.
• Spray a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray.
• Cook boneless chicken breasts until done.
• Slice into small thinly sliced strips (you can do this before or after cooking).
• Saute mushrooms and onions until soft.
• Spray 9X13 cooking pan with cooking spray (I use pampered chef stoneware).
• Make hollandaise sauce according to package directions and spread a small amount on the bottom of a 9 x13 pan, enough to cover the bottom.
• Place a layer of noodles on top of hollandaise sauce.
• Cover with half of the chicken and sprinkle with basil, oregano and salt and pepper to taste.
• Top with half of the mushroom and onion mixture and then drizzle and spread half of the remaining hollandaise.
• Sprinkle with basil and oregano.
• Top this with half of the Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
• Place all of the asparagus neatly in a layer over cheese.
• Repeat the layers, ending with the cheeses.
• Cook, uncovered, in 350 F.
• oven for 45- 60 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
• Watch to ensure the cheese doesn't begin to burn, if so, cover with foil in a tent like fashion, which might add to the cooking time.
• You need a deep 9X13 pan for this.
• Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
• Serve a salad with a tart dressing to offset the richness, such as my spinach, strawberry and poppyseed salad.
• I have never attempted to freeze this, so I don't know how that works.
• Considering the asparagus, I don't think it would freeze well.
• Note about packaged Hollandaise sauce: Be sure to check pkg directions at the store as ingredients/measurements/pkg yield may differ according to brand.

WHITE CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• NOODLES: Place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a long pan. Pour hot tap water over the noodles until they are submerged. Let them soak while you prep the lasagna - at least 30 minutes. Agitate the noodles with your hands occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
• FILLING: Add all of the Ricotta Filling ingredients to a large bowl and mix until combined. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• ALFREDO SAUCE: Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat then whisk in flour and garlic. Cook, while stirring for 2 minutes. Turn heat to low then gradually whisk in half and half, chicken broth and all spices/seasonings.
• Bring to a boil, whisking constantly then reduce heat to medium and simmer, whisking occasionally until thickened (but not overly thick), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted. Stir in chicken until well combined. Add additional milk if needed to thin.
• ASSEMBLE: Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan. Spread 1 cup Alfredo sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan (layer will be thin). Place 4 noodles (dried off) lengthwise and part of a 5th noodle on top to cover. Spread with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Repeat these layers 2 more times: Alfredo sauce (use one third of remaining Alfredo per layer, about 2 cups), noodles, ricotta, and mozzarella for a total of 3 complete layers. To finish, top with remaining third Alfredo sauce and remaining mozzarella (1 cup).
• BAKE: Cover lasagna with foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Turn the oven to broil (550 degree F) without moving the lasagna. Broil until the top is golden in spots, about 3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
