CHICKEN LASAGNA FLORENTINE


From Gooseberry Patch Slow-Cooker Recipes


(makes 8 servings)


-10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained (squeeze out excess moisture)


-9 ounce package frozen, diced, cooked chicken, thawed (or use 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts that you cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes on 325 degrees Fahrenheit鈥nside should be slightly pink and then cube)


-2 10-3/4 ounce cans cream of chicken soup


-8 ounce container sour cream


-1 cup milk


-1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese


-1/3 cup onion, chopped


-1/2 teaspoon salt


-1/4 teaspoon pepper


-1/8 teaspoon nutmeg


-9 strips lasagna noodles, uncooked and divided


-1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided (or 8 ounce bag)


-non-stick vegetable spray (could use butter)


-------------


1. Combine all ingredients except lasagna noodles and mozzarella in a large bowl; stir well and set aside.


2. Spray the inside of the crock pot with the vegetable spray.


3. Arrange 3 uncooked lasagna strips in the bottom of the crock pot, breaking the strips in half to fit.


4. Spread 1/3 of the spinach mixture over the lasagna noodles; sprinkle with 1/3 cup mozzarella.


5. Layer with 3 more lasagna noodles, half the remaining spinach mixture and 1/3 cup mozzarella.


6. Top with remaining lasagna strips, spinach mixture and mozzarella.


7. Cover and cook on high setting for one hour.


8. Reduce to low setting and cook, covered, for 5 hours, or until lasagna is tender.


*The flavor is excellent. I have noticed that the cheese at the top gets a bit to brown for my tastes. To correct this you could try to leave a bit of the spinach mixture (trying to save only a bit of the sauce part of it) to lightly spread over the top.








DEVILED EGGS


(for 3 hard cooked eggs)


-3 eggs, hard boiled (I put eggs in pan; cover with water; bring to a boil; when boiling reduce heat to medium and cover and cook for 10 minutes; drain water from pan immediately; fill pan with the eggs in them with cold water)


-录 teaspoon salt (or a little less, this is to taste)


-1/8 teaspoon ground pepper (or to taste)


-录 teaspoon dry mustard


-4 teaspoons mayonnaise (to taste, adding teaspoonfuls in at a time)


-------------


1.Cut the cooled eggs in half, lengthwise.


2.Carefully slip yolks out of each side with a spoon.


3.Mash the yolks with the spoon and mix in the pepper and dry mustard.


4.Add a little bit of salt and keep tasting until it tastes the way you like it.


5.Add mayonnaise, a spoonful at a time, until the mixture holds together a bit 鈥?making sure not to put in too much mayonnaise (it should still look like the color of the yolk鈥ellow)


6.Carefully fill each egg white half with the mixture, heaping it up lightly.


7.Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate.


*This is really an easy Deviled Egg recipe. There are more elaborate recipes, but if you start with this, you could begin adding your own ingredients to come up with the taste you like best.
