Chicken Lasagna Florentine Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles in a 5-qt. slow cooker coated with non-stick spray (or use one of those slow cooker bags and coat that). Break noodles as necessary.
• Spread 1/3 of spinach mixture over noodles. Sprinkle with 2/3 cup mozzarella.
• Layer 3 more noodles, half of remaining spinach mixture, and 2/3 cup mozzarella.
• Top with remaining 3 noodles, the rest of the spinach mixture, and the remaining mozzarella.
• Cover and cook for 1 hour on high; reduce heat to low and cook 5 hours or until pasta is done. (You may be able to just cook on low for 6 hours, I dont know.).
• Serve with a green salad and some cheese or garlic bread.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 12-cup standard muffin tins with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook 12 lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs to a colander, leaving water to boil. Rinse noodles with cold water and drain again. Lay noodles flat on a large baking sheet.
• Place spinach in boiling pasta water and stir until wilted, about 30 seconds; drain. Squeeze dry and coarsely chop.
• Stir spinach, chicken, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1 1/2 cups Alfredo sauce together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Stir ricotta cheese, pesto, and salt together in a medium bowl. Spread 3 tablespoons ricotta mixture onto each lasagna noodle. Working one noodle at a time, cut noodle in half lengthwise. Spread 2 tablespoons chicken mixture onto each noodle half. Roll up lengthwise and place cut-side down in the prepared muffin cups.
• Top each lasagna cup with 1 tablespoon Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle tops of lasagna cups evenly with remaining 2 cups mozzarella and Parmesan, making sure any stray strands of cheese are pushed into the muffin cups around the roll-up. Cover muffin tins with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until even more bubbly and cheese is browned, about 10 more minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin. Sprinkle with basil and parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Stir the soup and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the egg and ricotta in a medium bowl.
• Spread 1 cup soup mixture in a 3-quart shallow baking dish. Top with 3 uncooked lasagna noodles, ricotta mixture, spinach, chicken, 1 cup Cheddar cheese and 1 cup soup mixture. Top with remaining uncooked lasagna noodles and remaining soup mixture. Cover the baking dish.
• Bake at 375°F for 1 hour or until the lasagna is hot. Uncover the baking dish. Top with the remaining Cheddar cheese. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Tip: To thaw the spinach, microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes, breaking the spinach apart with a fork halfway through heating.
