Recipe: Chicken Lasaagna w/White Sauce

This could be used as one of your main dishes, or as a vegetable side dish. I would definitely add spinach, however, and maybe pimento. I hope you have a wonderful party.

Chicken Lasagna with white sauce
1 8-ounce package lasagna noodles
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
7 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
4 tablespoons flour
4 cups half and half cream
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
Salt and pepper, to taste
5 cups cooked chicken, shredded and boned
2 cups shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese
Cook noodles according to package directions; drain well. Saute mushrooms in 3 tablespoons butter for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup wine and cook until almost evaporated.
In saucepan, melt remaining butter; stir in flour. Add half and half gradually, stirring until thick. Add mushrooms, remaining 1/4 cup wine, tarragon, salt and pepper; simmer 3 minutes.
In 9x13-inch buttered pan, layer noodles, chicken, half of the wine sauce and part of the cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Yields 8 servings.
