  • Servings: 8
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch dice

  • 2 cups parmesan cheese

  • 5 stir in the chicken base.
  • 6 when chicken base has dissolved, whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until melted.
  • 7 whisk in the cornstarch 1 tbs at a time until the sauce is very thick - thick enough to flow slowly in thick ribbons from the whisk.

  • 9 stir in the cubed provolone.
  • 10 heat the oven to 400ºf.
  • 11 assemble the lasagna in a 9x11" lasagna pan.

  • 14 top noodles with a thin layer of the sauce.
  • 15 then layer half of the ricotta mixture.
  • 16 add another layer of noodles.
  • 17 another thin layer of sauce.
  • 18 now add all of the chicken and mushrooms in a layer.
  • 19 cover that with another layer of noodles.
  • 20 ladle in more sauce over that noodle layer.
  • 21 top with the rest of the ricotta mixture.
  • 22 one more layer of noodles is finally topped by the rest of the sauce.
  • 23 cover with foil and bake for 25 minute.
  • 24 remove the foil and bake for a few min more if you want the top to brown a little more.
