Lasagna is always a comforting and popular family dish. However, sometimes it is nice to change it up a bit from the common lasagna dish we are used to. Today I'm sharing my favorite Creamy White Chicken Lasagna dish, made with Borden® Cheese Mozzarella Shreds.



When I sit down to eat a warm dish on a cold winter day with my family, I love hearing stories of their day. A big dinner at the table is one of my favorite times with my family, so it is important to me to have a special dish to serve for dinner.



This delicious and cheesy recipe is one I believe you will love too! It is a great way to celebrate everyday moments that are filled with love! Don't they always say, a full belly is a happy heart? Look at all of this ooey, gooey, stretchy goodness!


Creamy White Chicken Lasagna Recipe

This recipe makes a big plate of lasagna; for my family of four, we can usually eat leftovers the next night. It warms up wonderfully, and the cheese is still nice and gooey!

Recipe: Creamy White Chicken Lasagna

Ingredients:
9 Lasagna Noodles
1/2 Cup of Butter
1 Onion
Minced Garlic (I used the jar kind)
1/2 Cup of All-Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Cups of Chicken Broth
1 1/2 Cups of Milk
4 Cups of Borden® Cheese Mozzarella Shreds
1 Cup of Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
2 Cups of Ricotta Cheese
2 Cups of Shredded Chicken
1-2 Cups of Fresh Spinach

Instructions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water. Drain, and rinse with cold water.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the butter until tender, stirring frequently. 

Stir in the flour and salt, and simmer until bubbly. 

Mix in the broth and milk, and boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute. 

Stir in 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with Italian seasoning and ground black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. 

Layer with 1/3 of the noodles, the ricotta, chicken, 2 cups mozzarella cheese and spinach. Repeat this one more time.

Arrange remaining noodles over cheese, and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake 35 minutes in the preheated oven.

How to Prepare the Lasagna:

Boil the lasagna noodles. While the noodles boil, take a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic in the butter.

Stir in the flour and salt, and simmer until bubbly. Mix in the broth and milk until it comes to a boil. 

Stir in 2 cups of Borden® Cheese Mozzarella Shreds.



Add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with Italian seasoning and ground black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.


Layering the Lasagna
Spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer noodles on top of the sauce.



Mix the ricotta and chicken together and layer on top of the noodles. Layer Borden® Cheese Mozzarella Shreds on top of ricotta/chicken layer.



Sprinkle some spinach on top and then repeat one more time.

Arrange remaining noodles over cheese, and spread remaining sauce evenly over noodles. Sprinkle with Borden® Cheese Mozzarella Shreds.

Bake 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Once out of the oven, let it cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

You will enjoy the ooey, gooey goodness in each slice of the Creamy White Chicken Lasagna. It does not disappoint!
