White Chicken Caprese Lasagna

Ingredients for layering:
  • 1 1/2 cups more mozzarella 
  • 1 box of oven ready lasagna noodles (you can use these gluten free ones)
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
  • Halved cherry tomatoes (about 20)
  • More fresh basil for garnish
  • Balsamic glaze (buy here, or you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar until it has reduced thickened)

Directions:
  1. Combine all of the ingredients for the ricotta layer and set aside. 
  2. For the sauce, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for about 30 seconds. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Add the milk, a little at a time, whisking well as you add it. Add the heavy cream. Bring to a boil, stirring the whole time. 
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the mozzarella, spinach, salt, pepper, and basil. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the spinach is wilted. Set aside. 

To assemble:
  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. 
  2. Place a couple ladles of sauce in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch pan. Top with a layer of noodles followed by 1/3 of the ricotta mixture followed by 1/3 of the chopped chicken followed by 1/3 of the remaining sauce mixture. Continue layering in this pattern, ending with sauce (you should have sauce, noodles, ricotta, chicken, sauce, noodles, ricotta, chicken, sauce, noodles, ricotta, chicken, sauce). Top with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and then scatter on the halved cherry tomatoes. 
  3. Bake for about 45 minutes (I like to put the 9x13 pan on a cookie sheet in the oven, just in case it overflows at all). If the top browns before the 45 minutes are up, just cover it with a sheet of tin foil for the rest of the time. 
  4. Allow to cool about 10-20 minutes before serving. Top with fresh basil and balsamic glaze.
