Double Cheddar Rotisserie Chicken Lasagna
Share recipe
Description
I decided to combine my love of broccoli cheese soup with rotisserie chicken for a unique lasagna.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 medium carrots, cut into matchsticks
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups 1% milk
- 1 cup shredded white Cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) package oven-ready lasagna noodles
- 3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
Directions
- 1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute carrots and onion for about 4 minutes. Add garlic during the last few seconds so that it becomes fragrant but does not burn.
- 2. Combine broccoli and chicken broth in a microwave-safe bowl. Steam in the microwave until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain off chicken broth. Coarsely chop the florets and add to the carrot mixture. Stir to combine and set aside.
- 3. Remove skin from the rotisserie chicken. Using a sharp knife, carefully separate pieces. Cut meat into small cubes, making sure to pick through and discard any bones.
- 4. Combine butter and flour in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir to form a paste. Slowly pour in milk. Cook, whisking constantly, until sauce thickens, about 7 minutes. Stir in white Cheddar cheese and garlic salt.
- 5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 6. Set aside 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese for the topping. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce over the bottom of an 8x8-inch casserole dish. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, broccoli mixture, cheese, and chicken. Repeat layers, ending with sauce. Sprinkle reserved Cheddar cheese and panko bread crumbs over the top.
- 7. Cover lasagna with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 minutes more. Allow to rest for 7 minutes before serving.
