Chicken Lasagna

-

I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious!  Just about the whole pan was wiped out..  I managed to save a little for Tobin to take to work today.  Thought I would share the recipe.


 


Chicken Lasagna


Crystal Miller 


 


 


7 to 9 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or equivalent breast pieces), cooked and cubed


1 16oz package frozen broccoli (or 4 cups chopped, fresh broccoli pieces), cooked


3 large eggs


1 T Dijon style mustard


salt and pepper, to taste


½ of a large onion, chopped


½ c chopped mushrooms


olive oil


2 c mozzarella cheese, or less (also optional)


8 to 10 whole wheat or spinach lasagna noodles, cooked


 


Chicken Lasagna Sauce (recipe follows)  (Hint: This sauce can be prepared while you are cooking your chicken, broccoli and noodles in preparation for this recipe)


 


In a large bowl combine cooked and cubed chicken, cooked broccoli, eggs, mustard, salt and pepper.  In a frying pan sauté onions and mushrooms in a small amount of olive oil.  Add sautéed onions and mushrooms to the chicken mixture.


 


Set this aside and prepare sauce.


 


In a 9x13 pan put a layer of lasagna noodles to cover the bottom of the pan.  Put half of the chicken mixture on top of the noodles.  Spoon half the sauce over the chicken and then half the cheese.  Repeat layers and cover loosely with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly.  You can remove the foil during the last 10 minutes, if desired.


 


Serve this with French bread and a nice big green salad!!

½ cup ww flour


4 cups milk


2 chicken boullion cubes

    Thanks so much for this recipe! I always look forward to them, but this one went over big with everyone in my family (not an easy feat!). I tweaked it just a bit....I omitted the chicken boullion (I have problems with MSG), but cooked my lasagna noodles in the water left over from the chicken. It was yummy!

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine to

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this

Dishwasher Soap Sub

One of the most common emails I receive is ladies asking if I have a good homemade substitute for dishwasher detergent. After making my own homemade laundry detergent and having such great success I was eager to try and find something that worked as well in my dishwasher. I found and tried a couple different recipes. I was not happy with the results at all. The most common recipe I came across was a combination of washing soda, borax and citric acid (some recipes used Kool-Aid in place of the citric acid). What I discovered is that this combination left a cloudy film all over my dishes that was hard as heck to remove. I quickly went back to Cascade and gave up trying to find a substitute. Well, last week I ran out of dishwasher soap. Because I live rurally just hopping in the car to run and pick up one item is out of the question. Plus, at that point my hand had not healed enough to be able to drive (I have a stick shift and could not shift with my right hand). I had
