Creamy, cheesy White Chicken Caprese Lasagna is an easy favorite meal, packed with flavor and surprisingly easy!

         Prep Time      20     Cook Time     25   Total Time    45








Ingredients:
  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 can (14 oz.) artichoke hearts, drained, chopped
  • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped and drained
  • 1-1/2 pkg. low fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup 1/2 and 1/2
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked
  • 12 slices whole milk mozzarella








Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350F

In a large bowl, combine chicken, artichokes, 1 cup mozzarella, grated parmesan, 1/2 the basil and tomatoes. Set aside.

In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, 1/2 and 1/2 and garlic until well combined. Using a spoon, stir in half the basil. Set half of the cream cheese mixture aside and stir the remaining half in with the chicken mixture.

Take half of the cream cheese mixture (without the chicken) and spread it into a 9x13 baking dish, covering the bottom. Lay 3 noodles on top and then top with 1/3 of the chicken mixture. Repeat the noodles and chicken mixture two more times, ending with a noodle layer.

Top with the last half of the cream cheese mixture.
Place the whole milk mozzarella slices on top in rows of three, like shown.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over everything, and then top with more basil if desired.
Bake 25 min. or until heated through.
Slice and serve! Enjoy!

GLAZED CHERRY PIE BARS

Image
The cherry bars are like cherry pie but easier. There's a buttery, soft, tender crust topped with cherry pie filling before being baked and glazed. There's almond extract in both the bars and the glaze which adds the most heavenly flavor. The cherry and almond extract combination is absolutely perfect. I baked the bars using a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan and appreciate that they don't turn out overly thick. However, you could probably use a 9x13-inch pan noting the bars will be thicker and the baking time will be longer. It's a great recipe for parties and events because the recipe makes a large amount. YIELD: one 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: about 35 minutes TOTAL TIME: about 90 minutes, for coolin INGREDIENTS: Bars 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (or 1/2 teaspoon if you love almond extract)
