Ks Slow Cooker Chicken Spinach Lasagna Recipe 445

Steps:

• Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add lasagna noodles, chicken, onion, garlic, Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, basil, salt and pepper to slow cooker. Stir gently; stir in 1 cup of the cheese.
• Cover and cook on Low heat setting 1 1/2 hours; stir mixture thoroughly until pasta is covered in sauce. Cover; cook 1 1/2 hours longer or until pasta is tender.
• Gradually add spinach, carefully stirring to wilt; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Increase to High heat setting; cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, mushrooms, onion, 1/2 of the minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in spinach; set aside.
• While chicken is cooking, bring 2 large pots of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water in one pot, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Drop spinach into the boiling water in the second pot and blanch for 1 minute; pour into a colander to drain.
• Combine cream, half-and-half, remaining garlic, onion powder, sage, and bay leaf in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power in 1-minute increments until boiling; stir well.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 12x15-inch piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
• Melt remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour; stir and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue stirring and add cream mixture. Cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, mix ricotta cheese and 3 cups mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl. Fold in 1/4 cup of the cream sauce.
• Assemble lasagna in a deep 9x13-inch baking dish as follows, spreading ingredients in each layer: 1/2 cup cream sauce, 1/3 of the chicken-spinach mixture, 1/3 of the noodles, 1/2 cup cream sauce, 1/3 of the chicken-spinach mixture, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, 1/4 cup cream sauce, 1/3 of the noodles, 1/2 cup cream sauce, remaining chicken-spinach mixture, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining noodles, remaining cream sauce, remaining Parmesan, and remaining mozzarella. Cover with the aluminum foil, sprayed-side down.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top starts to turn golden, about 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix first 9 ingredients together in large bowl. Spread 1/4 of chicken/spinach mixture on bottom of lightly greased slow cooker. Top with 3-4 noodles, breaking if necessary.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, pasta sauce, and buffalo wing sauce.
• Spread half the sauce mixture in the bottom of a slow cooker sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cover with a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (you will have to break them to get a proper fit).
• Spread half the ricotta cheese to the top of the noodles, then top with half the shredded cheeses and bell pepper.
• Repeat all layers.
• Sprinkle bleu cheese crumbles on top.
• Pour water over lasagna.
• Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
• When cooking time is complete, unplug slow cooker and let sit for 10-20 minutes to cool down a little before serving.

Steps:

• In large bowl stir together spinach, chicken, mushrooms and Italian cheese; mix well. In separate bowl mix Alfredo sauce, mushroom soup, broth, chicken base and pepper; stir well. Add Alfredo sauce mixture to chicken mixture -- stir well. Spray 6 qt. slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread 1/4 of chicken mixture on bottom. Arrange 3 noodles on top, breaking to fit properly. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining chicken mixture and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Cover and cook on low 3 hrs. 45 min. until mixture is bubbly and brown along edges. Uncover and continue cooking on low 45-50 min. Let stand 10 min. (if it looks a little soupy, don't worry -- it will stiffen up as it sits -- slow cookers do cook differently, though, so you may not see this. I happen to have a 25 yr old crockpot that I received as a wedding gift that still works great! )

Steps:

• Season chicken with poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When pan is ready, add thighs and sear about 3-4 minutes on each side.
• Place the thighs into a large crockpot. To the skillet add the chicken stock and deglaze the pan. Add salt, pepper, and oregano and stir. Add pasta to the skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes just enough to soften the pasta.
• Meanwhile, arrange the mushrooms over the chicken followed with the vegetables. When pasta is ready, place over the vegetables, broth and all. Dot with cream cheese and sour cream then pour the Rotel over top, covering everything. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, cover, and cook on low 6-8 hours.
