Do you eat chicken and cheese?





This is very yummy and what we are having.





Creamy white chicken lasagna:





15 whole artichoke hearts(canned)


3 tbp olive oil


4 cloves garlic chopped super small


1/2 cup pine nuts


1-15 oz container ricotta cheese


1 egg


1 cup finely shredded parmesan


1/2 tsp salt


1/4 cup flour


1 cup chicken or veggie stock


2 cups half and half (or even evaporated milkl)


1 cup shredded mozzerella cheese


9 lasgana noodels cooked (or you can use the ';ready bake';)


3-4 boneless skinless boneless chicken breasts


1/2 stick butter








Cut artichokes in 1/2 and then either boil teh chicken, drian-cool-and shredd or if you have a grill then put it on the grill and then cut into bite sized pieces.





In a sauce pan put 2 tbsp of the oil and add the garlic, pine nuts, and artichokes. Saute iuntil the artichokes get a bit more tender, and the pine nuts start to toast, but be careful to Not burn the pine nuts and garlic. Drain and tranfer to a large bowl.





Stir in the ricotta, egg and chicken, 1/2 cup parmesan, and





Melt the butter and remaining oil in a pan and sprinkle in the flour, let the butter and flour bubble for 2-3 min. Slowly add the cream and broth. Adding alternatly, and letting it thicken slightly between each addition.





In a small bowl mix remaining parm with the mozzerella.





Pour approx 3/4 cup of the white sauce in the bottoom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Lay down one ;ayer or fnnodles and then add 1/3 of the chicken mix, white sauce, and about 1/4 of the cheeses.





Repeat ending up with about 1/2 the cheese mix on top so it is extra cheese on top.





Bake at 350 uncovered for 35-40 min. Or until hot and bubbly.





Serve with a nice salad-you could even do the pre-mixed baggies from the market, and a frozen loaf of garlic bread.








Serve with heart chaped garlic bread (use a large cookie cutter for the shape) and a nice dinner salad with a lot of red veggies:





beets, tomatoes, bell peppers, radishes, sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese (I know it's not red but red and white work) etc....





You could even make the radishes into little roses to serve on top of the salad. Use either a raspberry vin, or a creamy white ranch or blue cheese dressing to go with all the red and tie in.
