Chicken And Bacon Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In 4-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. With whisk, stir in flour until smooth. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture is smooth and bubbly.
• In 4-cup glass measuring cup, mix broth and whipping cream. Gradually stir broth mixture into saucepan. Increase heat to medium-high; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute; reduce heat to medium. Stir in cream cheese. Cook until melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in dressing mix.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in bottom of baking dish; top with a layer of 3 noodles. On top of noodles, spoon half of the chicken, one-third of the bacon, 3 tablespoons of the green onions, 1 cup of the Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese and 1 cup of the sauce. Repeat, starting with noodles. Top with remaining noodles, sauce, cheese and bacon.
• Bake uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until noodles are tender and edges are bubbly. Let stand uncovered 10 minutes, and top with remaining green onions. Serve with ranch dressing.

Steps:

• Over a long sheet of saran wrap, lay 8 of the bacon strips down back to back. Lifting up every other strip, fold about 1-inch (2 cm) the bacon back on itself. Lay another slice of bacon perpendicular to the strips and fold the flaps back over the horizontal strip of bacon. Repeat with the rest of the bacon until a tight weave has formed. Set aside in the fridge.
• In a medium saucepan, add the butter and garlic over medium heat, cooking until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add the cream, and bring to a boil.
• Add in the Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and there are no lumps remaining.
• Pour half of the mixture over the shredded chicken, reserving the other half to use a sauce in the end.
• Mix the chicken with the sauce until thoroughly combined.
• On a separate sheet of saran wrap, lay down the lasagna noodles, overlapping them slightly.
• Spread the chicken mixture over the noodles, making sure that you leave about a 1-cm (½ inch) gap at the bottom so the noodles have room to roll on themselves.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the cheese slices evenly across the chicken, then press the spinach into a row centered between the cheese slices.
• While one hand keeps the spinach flat, use the other hand to lift the saran wrap up and over, causing the noodles to roll on themselves. Make sure to roll tightly until the entire thing has come together into a neat rolled bundle.
• Transfer the lasagna roll to the bottom of the bacon weave, and repeat the saran wrap rolling process until the bacon has tightly and completely wrapped the lasagna roll.
• Unwrap and transfer to a baking tray.
• Bake for about 25 minutes until the bacon is starting to get crispy but not too dark.
• Cool for about 15 minutes, then transfer the roll to a cutting board.
• Slice generous 1-inch (2 cm) thick portions, then serve with the remaining alfredo sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Sauté the onion in a large frying pan, with about a quarter of the butter.
• Meanwhile, slice the bacon into chunky strips.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the spinach.
• Return to a boil, drain and rinse with cold water.
• Squeeze all the water out of the spinach and slice it a few times.
• When the onion has been cooking for a few minutes, add the bacon, thyme and bay leaf.
• Increase the heat slightly and cook until the bacon starts to crisp.
• Add the chicken, cooking and stirring until it is nicely browned.
• Season with salt and pepper and then sift 1/2 tbsp flour over the top, stirring until it disappears.
• Add the lemon juice and stock.
• Increase the heat again and stir continuously as you bring the liquid to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and leave to simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes until the liquid has cooked into the chicken to make a thick and juicy sauce.
• Stir the spinach into the sauce and remove the pan from the heat.
• While the chicken is cooking, you can make the white sauce.
• Melt the rest of the butter in a small pan and then stir in the flour to make a thick paste.
• Gradually add the milk, stirring until it comes to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and keep stirring until you have a thick, smooth sauce (about five minutes).
• Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Grease a baking dish with a bit of the chicken sauce, then cover with three sheets of lasagne.
• Spread half the chicken sauce over the lasagne along with one third of the white sauce.
• Repeat with another layer of lasagne, the rest of the chicken, and another third of the white sauce.
• Lay the last three lasagne sheets over the top and cover with the last of the white sauce.
• Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and cook in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes.
• Take out when the top is nicely browned and the sauce is bubbling around the edge of the dish.
• Let stand five minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Season the chicken with salt & pepper and fry with garlic until the chicken is cooked but not browned. Set to one side.
• Fry the bacon & onion and once the onion is soft add the mushroom, pepper and cooked chicken. Add enough tomato puree to coat the chicken, then stir in the tomatoes. Add thyme & basil to taste, season and bring the sauce to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer with the lid on for 15-20 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
• Remove the lid and sprinkle in the stock cube. Simmer until the sauce has thickened further.
• To make the bechamel sauce:
• Put the milk in a saucepan with the bay leaf and bring to a simmer. Strain into a jug and rinse the pan out. Put the pan back on the heat and gently melt the butter, stir in the flour (use a wooden spoon or mini whisk) and cook for 1 minute, don't let the butter or flour brown at all. Take the pan off the heat and add the milk in 3 stages. At each stage beat or whisk the milk into the flour until it is completely smooth.
• Once the flour is all in, bring the mixture back up to a simmer, stirring all the time to stop any lumps forming. Once the mixture looks as if it won't thicken any more, simmer it for 5 minutes, stirring/whisking now and then, until it looks really glossy. If you do have a few lumps, just strain the lot through a sieve.
• But a layer of the chicken sauce into an overproof dish. Add a layer of lasagne, then 1/2 the bechamel sauce. Repeat this again and top with cheese.
• Bake in the oven for 30 mins until the cheese has gone golden. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving.

Steps:

• Melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add flour; whisk until blended. Cook and stir 1 min. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until well blended. Cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in dressing.
• Spread 1/2 cup dressing mixture onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray; cover with 3 noodles. Top with layers of 1/3 each of the chicken, bacon, cheese and remaining dressing mixture. Repeat layers twice; cover.
• Bake 30 min. or until heated through. Remove lasagna from oven. Let stand 10 min. before cutting to serve.
