Chicken divan lasagna is a comforting twist on the classic. Tender chicken, broccoli and mushrooms are layered with lasagna noodles, a creamy cottage cheese filling and a Swiss cheese white sauce seasoned with our organic Poultry Seasoning and a hint of nutmeg. Your whole dinner, with vegetables, protein and pasta, comes out of one pan. Slide it into the oven, pour a glass of chilled Chardonnay and relax.

Chicken Divan Lasagna with Poultry Seasoning

Ingredients

    Noodles and Filling

    • 12 lasagna noodles
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
    • 1 teaspoon Organic Poultry Seasoning (for the chicken)
    • 1/2 pound mushrooms
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 3 large garlic cloves, crushed
    • 1 1/2 pounds broccoli (about 2 heads), cut into small florets
    • fine sea salt (to taste)
    • organic ground black pepper (to taste)
    • 1 container (15 oz) cottage cheese
    • 1 egg
    • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
    • 1/4 teaspoon organic ground nutmeg

    white sauce and topping

    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons organic poultry seasoning
    • 1/2 teaspoon organic ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
    • 3 cups organic whole milk
    • 1/2 cup white wine
    • 1/2 pound grated Swiss cheese (about 2 cups)
    • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (for topping)

    Directions

    1. Cook the noodles in salted boiling water until just tender. Drain and gently toss with the olive oil to prevent sticking. (If using no-boil noodles, skip this step.)

    2. Toss the chicken with 1 teaspoon Poultry Seasoning.

    3. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in wide, shallow saucepan, over medium heat. Add half of chicken and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until browned (about 4 minutes). Place in bowl and repeat with remaining butter, chicken and garlic. Do not rinse pan.

    4. In the same pan, add the broccoli and mushrooms. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until the broccoli is bright green, about 8 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and toss.

    5. In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese with egg, Parmesan cheese and nutmeg. Set aside.

    6. Add butter to saucepan used for cooking the chicken. Place over medium heat. When butter is bubbling, whisk in flour and seasonings. Stir constantly for 2 minutes. Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly to keep mixture smooth. Continue whisking gently until sauce thickens and is boiling (about 10 minutes).

    7. Whisk in white wine and cheese.

    8. Preheat oven to 350°F.

    9. Lightly coat bottom of 13” x 9” glass baking dish with 1 cup sauce. Arrange a layer of 4 noodles over the sauce. Cover with half of the chicken and 1/3 of the remaining sauce. Make another layer of noodles. Spoon cottage cheese mixture over top.

    10. Layer remaining chicken and half of remaining sauce over cottage cheese. Arrange another layer of noodles. Finish with remaining sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan.

    11. Bake lasagna, uncovered, in center of oven until bubbling, and top is golden brown (about 45 minutes)

    12. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing so the layers set.
