BLUE LASAGNA WITH CORDONE CHICKEN

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.
3. Cook the Lasagna Sheets:
   • Boil the lasagna sheets according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. 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.
7. 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.
9. 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.
11. Serve:
    • Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
