buttermilk, milk, salt and pepper to taste. Stir until thick. Cook chicken
and cut into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine chicken, spinach,
cheeses and a small amount of wine to moisten. Season with lemon pepper, a
dash or two of cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. Pour a
small amount of Bechamel sauce into a 9x13 baking dish or a lasagne dish.

wine. Add layer of chicken mixture filling, then sauce, then noodles, wine,
and top with more filling. End with sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan
cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour. Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
