Ingredients:

  • 12 lasagna sheets (pre-cooked or regular)
  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped (cordon bleu style)
  • 2 cups of blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken Cordon Bleu:
    • If not using pre-cooked cordon bleu, bread and fry or bake the chicken breasts until golden brown, then chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Lasagna Sheets:
    • Boil the lasagna sheets according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the Cheese Sauce:
    • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sauté until soft.
    • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
    • Slowly add milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
    • Once thickened, add in the blue cheese and mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Lasagna:
    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of cheese sauce at the bottom.
    • Place a layer of lasagna sheets on top.
    • Add a layer of chicken pieces, spinach (optional), and a little cheese sauce.
    • Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous amount of sauce on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake the Lasagna:
    • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
