Instructions
- Prepare pasta according to package directions and strain noodles but reserve water. Cook broccoli 1 to 2 minutes then strain and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add butter and shallot and brown 2 minutes.
- While shallots brown, season chicken with pepper.
- Add chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes on both sides or until browned and cooked through. Add butter or oil as needed. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Add wine to pan and cook 5 minutes or until about 2 tablespoons remain. Add cream and bring to a low simmer then reduce heat and stir in Parmesan.
- Chop chicken and add to bowl with broccoli.
- Once sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon it is ready. Pour .5 cup of sauce on the bottom of a 9X13-inch baking dish and remaining sauce over broccoli and chicken. Cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine Italian seasoning, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella and egg. Combine well. Combine with chicken and broccoli.
- To layer lasagna place 3 noodles on sauce, then top with an even layer of broccoli filling, another layer of pasta and repeat ending with pasta sheets and topping with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake 30 minutes covered in foil and additional 5 minutes uncovered.
- Serve with Italian bread or a side salad.
- Chef's Note: Use a prepared Alfredo sauce for a quick dinner!
