Creamy Alfredo Chicken and Rosemary Lasagna (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

in #food7 years ago

Happy Sunday my friends!

Our days are starting to get shorter here and I’m so glad about it. It means we're closer to Autumn, YAY!, but then it also means it's going to be getting cold. That part's not so exciting for me but I do love snow so I'll take the trade.

The last three months of the year are my absolute favorite! Does it seem weird to you guys that I’m planning Fall and Christmas inspired recipes already? I think being a food blogger has rewired my brain to start thinking a few months ahead of everything.

This year I’m going to be so excited to be living where we have snow during the Holidays again. I mean, if you followed me for any length of time you know how I've missed that from 4 years in Chile. I just can't wait for all the cozy stuff.

Speaking of cozy stuff, I think anything with loads of melty cheese and creamy goodness all baked in one dish qualifies. That totally spells comfort food in my opinion and this lasagna’s got all that and more!

When it comes to food, I pretty much love it all but I’ve never been a huge fan of traditional lasagna. I really like it but personally I’d go for chicken over beef and creamy sauce over tomato when given the choice. Also, as much as I like using ricotta in all kinds of other stuff, I sort of prefer replacing it in my lasagna with other cheeses, not really sure why. What I do adore is rosemary.

Oh my goodness, just one smell of it can make me so happy! I love that it can smell completely like the Holiday season when you mix it with other wintery flavors, but at the same time it can go the opposite direction, all Mediterranean and summery, when you put it with fresh vibrant flavors like lemon. It’s perfect for taking the star role in this lasagna, that’s for sure!

So about this lasagna, one of the best things about it is it’s depth of flavor from all the different layers. I’ve been making my own chicken stock ever since my family’s farm days when we had our own chickens running around the yard. Whenever I list it in my recipes I’m using homemade. It does add just a little more time to this meal and I know homemade stock might sound daunting, but once you’ve tried it I think you’ll see how much better it is than store-bought and how simple it is too. Seriously, just throw the stuff in a pot of water and let it boil until it’s got tons of flavor, done. The stock is where you bring in the lemon and rosemary also. I secretly love that because it means no juicing and zesting lemons or chopping rosemary. See, it’s actually the lazier option.

After you make and strain the stock you simply add it to your alfredo sauce along with all its yumminess, prep a few other ingredients, and then layer everything together for, what is in my opinion, the best version of lasagna ever! It’s all a matter of personal tastes but a lot of my gang agreed that this beats a traditional lasagna all day long. I guess you’ll have to give it a try if you want to find out.

This was so yummy!! Yeah, can't wait till the next time this one rolls around onto the menu!

So glad you liked it @noboxes!

Cool)))

This looks delicious, and is the most interesting take on lasagna I've seen in awhile. Definitely upvoted and re-steemed.

Perfect timing for me too - yesterday, I gave away the uncooked roast I had planned to cook today for Sunday dinner, and don't have time to replace it. But now, it's off to the market for some multi-purpose rôtisserie that I'm sure will be even more impressive at the table than my roast would have been!

Not that anyone cares too much though. Good food given with good intentions is almost always well received, in any event. Cheers @gringalicious!

Fantastic commenting @beckerly. I hope this recipe is able to give you some inspiration today, well, and tomorrow also, LOL

Homemade stock is always the best and really gives a boost to your dish! 100% true abt that @gringalicious!
I always enjoy the twist you bring to these classics! Lovely Sunday dish!
So glad that you'll enjoy the snow after such a long spell during the festive season! I'll be enjoying full summer as usual here in Mauritius!Lol!
Cheers
@progressivechef
