So apparently it's cold in the rest of the country? It's finally beautiful here, mid 80s during the day and 60s at night (and this, my friends, is why I moved to Arizona). It's finally cold enough to start thinking about warm comfort foods. For a somewhat healthier take on casseroles and lasagna, I like making a white lasagna so I can feel healthy eating spinach and chicken, while really I'm in it for the 3 cups of cheese. Whatever.
See? Spinach. It's healthy.
Cheeeeeeeese. More cheese, always.
Ingredients:
2-3 chicken breasts
1 package of no boil lasagna noodles
1 small bunch of green onions
1 bunch of spinach
6 cups chicken broth
3 cups of grated mozzarella
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Start by cooking up the chicken in a frying and shredding it.
Put a layer of lasagna noodles on the bottom of a 9x13" pan. Then layer, layer layer. Start with a layer of chicken and sliced green onions, then add a layer of spinach, and then mozzarella. Top with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and then add 3 cups of chicken broth.
Then repeat - chicken and onions, spinach, mozzarella, 3 cups of broth. You may not use all the broth. You want the broth to completely cover the upper layer of noodles or they'll get hard and crispy/chewy which isn't what we're going for. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes covered with tinfoil. Remove tinfoil for the last 10 minutes to make sure the cheese is a melty golden brown.
Remove from the oven, spoon into a bowl, and eat your heart out. Mmmmm, cheesy goodness

Yum! Now as a grownup I've begun to be okay with spinach...but if it's covered in cheese I'm sure it will really be fine :)
