Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 Pieces Lasagne, uncooked
1 pounds Boneless chicken breasts (without skin), diced
3 cups Sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup Thinly sliced carrots
½ cup Sliced spring onions
1 cup Frozen green peas thawed and well drained
1 teaspoon Ground thyme
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup All-purpose flour
3½ cup Skim milk
½ cup Dry sherry
¼ teaspoon Ground red pepper (cayenne)
15 ounces Low-fat ricotta cheese
1½ cup Grated mozzarella cheese (part-skim), divided
½ cup Grated Swiss cheese (reduced fat)

Directions

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Spray a Dutch oven or large skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and saute 4 minutes or until cooked through. Drain well and set aside. Recoat Dutch oven with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms, carrots and onions; saute 6 minutes. Set aside.

Place flour in a medium saucepan. Gradually add milk, stirring with a wire whisk until blended; stir in sherry. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.

Stir in salt and red pepper. Reserve one cup of sauce and set aside.

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and Swiss cheese.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Arrange 4 pieces of the lasagne (3 lengthwise, 1 widthwise) over the sauce. Top with half of ricotta cheeese mixture, half of chicken mixture and half of remaining sauce mixture. Repeat layers, ending with 4 pieces of lasagne. Spread reserved 1 cup of sauce over the last complete layer of lasagne, being sure to cover the lasagne completely.

Cover lasagne with foil and bake 1 hour. Uncover lasagne, sprinkle remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered. Re-cover and let stand 15 minutes before serving.
