Ingredients

5 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, finely diced
1 stalks celery, finely diced
1 lb. fresh mushrooms trimmed, washed, and roughly chopped
½ pound spinach leaves, stems removed, washed
4 Tablespoons butter, plus extra to grease pan
2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into approximately ½-inch pieces
1 cup dry white wine
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups milk
1/4 bunch Italian parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
16 dried lasagna noodles
1 lb. fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small dice
1 cup grated Parmesan
Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper

Directions

In a large stockpot, heat 3 Tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-low heat. 

Add the onion and celery with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. 

Increase heat to medium high, and add mushrooms. 

Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, then add the spinach with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. 

Cook until spinach is wilted and mushrooms are tender. Remove the vegetables from the pot and reserve.

Add the butter to the same pot, and adjust the heat to medium. 

Season the chicken on all sides with salt and pepper, and add to the melted butter. 

Cook, stirring, until the chicken is almost cooked through but not browned, about 8 minutes. 

Add the wine and simmer until almost completely reduced. 

Sprinkle the flour over the chicken, and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, allowing the flour to coat the chicken and absorb the liquid. 

Gradually stir in the cream and milk, scraping the pot to release any cooked flour from the bottom and sides (if necessary, stir with a whisk to break up any lumps). 

Simmer for 6 minutes, stirring constantly, allowing the liquid to thicken. 

With a spoon or ladle, reserve 1 cup of liquid. 

Remove the pot from the heat, and add the cooked vegetables and mushrooms. 

Add the chopped parsley. 

Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.

To Assemble the Lasagna:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles for about 8-10 minutes; they should be not quite cooked through (al dente). 

Strain the noodles in a colander, and rinse in cold water. 

Drain, then toss noodles with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking. 

Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 350°F. 

Butter a 9" x 13" baking pan. 

Place a layer of 4 noodles on the bottom, overlapping them slightly. 

Top with one third of the chicken mixture, then one third of the diced  fresh mozzarella cheese. 

Repeat layering twice, finishing with a layer of noodles. 

Spread the reserved sauce on the noodles and then sprinkle with Parmesan. 

(At this stage, the lasagna can be refrigerated overnight. Cover tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.) 

Cover with aluminum foil or a lid and bake for 30 minutes. 

Increase heat to 400°F, remove the foil, and continue to bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Parmesan Crusted Chicken transforms your chicken into a juicier, crispier, more delicious meal.

Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 pounds red skin baby potatoes
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 Italian mild green pepper, cubanelle, seeded and thinly sliced
1 medium yellow skinned onion, thinly sliced
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt and pepper
2 cups shredded Parmesan
4 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 plum Roma tomatoes or small, vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
15 to 20 leaves fresh basil, chiffonade

Directions

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Cut red potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on thickness of fingerlings -- thin, small red potatoes may also be left hole, larger potatoes should be quartered to speed cooking process. 

Cover a large cookie sheet with foil. Place potatoes on cookie sheet. Combine with peppers and onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Coat the potatoes, peppers and onions with extra-virgin olive oil just enough to coat vegetables in a thin layer, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place potatoes in the oven and roast 20 to 22 minutes, until potatoes are just tender and peppers and onions are crisp at edges. Toss mixture with tongs, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and peel the foil off the cookie sheet and discard for super-quick clean up!

While potatoes cook, prepare chicken. Roll out a 2-foot piece of waxed paper or foil near the stove top. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat -- your pan must be very hot when the chicken is added. Pile the shredded cheese on the work surface created with the waxed paper or foil. Season your chicken breasts with black pepper but no salt; the cheese will add enough salt to the taste of the dish. Press the breasts firmly into the cheese. Coat both sides of breasts with as much cheese as possible. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, 1 turn of the pan. Set breasts into the skillet and cook 7 minutes on each side, until cheese forms an even, golden casing around the tender chicken breasts.

While chicken cooks, combine chopped tomatoes with basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.

Drain off any excess oil from chicken as you remove it from the skillet. Top chicken with big spoonfuls of raw sauce and serve with potatoes, peppers and onions
