This is one of my favorite recipes! You can make this a day or two in advance and bake when you are ready to serve. You can also freeze the unbaked lasagne and take it out of the freezer, defrost, and cook when you are ready to serve. This recipe came from Sandy, a very special friend. Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) box lasagna noodles |
4 chicken breasts |
1 onion (chopped) |
1/2 bell pepper (chopped) |
1 cup butter |
2 garlic cloves (minced) |
1 quart half-and-half |
7 tablespoons flour |
6 -7 chicken bouillon cubes |
12 ounces romano cheese (6oz each layer) |
16 ounces monterey jack cheese (8oz each layer) |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated) |
8 ounces yellow colby-monterey jack cheese (optional) |
1 teaspoon lawry's seasoned salt |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
Directions:
1. Boil 4 to 6 large chicken breast (fresh or frozen), 2 to 3 chicken bouillon cubes, garlic powder and Lawry season salt until chicken is tender. Cut chicken into pieces into chunks.
2. In a microwave bowl, melt 1 stick of butter, approximately 7 tablespoons flour, one-quart half-and-half, 4 crushed chicken bouillon cubes, 1 teaspoons Lawry’s seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoons white pepper and 1 teaspoons garlic powder. Microwave 60 seconds at a time and whisk, cook for about seven minutes total. Add a small amount of regular milk to thin if the sauce becomes too thick.
3. Sauté 1 chopped onion, 1/2 bell pepper and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 stick of butter until tender then add to white sauce.
4. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, adding 1/2 teaspoon salt; drain.
5. In a deep well-greased 13 x 9 inch casserole pan, layer lasagna noodles and half of white sauce, chicken breast pieces, 6 oz. Romano Cheese and 8 oz. Monterrey Jack cheese. Repeat layer.
6. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour. Remove cover, and sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
