Michelles Cheesey Chicken Lasagna Recipes

CHEESY CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large, deep pan and brown the chicken well. Remove and set aside.
• Add the vegetables and cook for 7-10 minutes or until they start to soften.
• Add the garlic and herbs and cook for another minute before adding the chicken back in.
• Pour in the tomatoes, stock, Balsamic and sugar.
• Cover, reduce and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly. Season to taste.
• Layer the bolognese mixture with no-cook lasagna sheets and bechamel/cheese sauce in an oven-proof baking dish (18cm x 25cm or 7in x 10in). Add a quarter cup mozzarella cheese with each layer to make it ultra cheese. Top with cheddar cheese, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 200°C/390°F for 20-30 minutes or until a sharp knife can easily be inserted. Remove the foil and allow to bake until browned on top.
• Remove from the oven, allow to rest for at least 10 minutes then slice and serve.

CHEESY CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Mix together salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, celery seed, and chicken broth. Pour over chicken.
• Cook in Instant Pot on high for 13 minutes and let natural release for 10 minutes. Or, cook in slow cooker low for 6-8 hours, or high 4-5 hours. Or, line baking pan with aluminum foil, place chicken and mixture in foil and fold the foil up as tight as you can around the chicken; then, bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Once chicken is cooked, remove from broth with slotted spoon. Shred chicken with two forks. Reserve broth for sauce. Set chicken aside.
• Cook garlic and butter in large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Turn to medium-low and add soups, oregano, pepper, dehydrated onion, and onion powder. Take 1 cup of broth from cooked chicken and also mix this into pan. Let simmer for about 3 minutes. Note: If you don't have enough broth, or you threw it out by accident, you can use pre-made chicken broth instead. I highly recommend the broth from the cooked chicken though as it has some tasty spices.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Or, do like I do, and get the oven ready lasagna noodles which make this recipe a breeze.
• Cover bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish with about 1/2 cup sauce. Cover sauce with lasagna noodles (this will take about 4 noodles and you'll likely have to break one to make it fit). Cover noodles with 1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 of the sauce, and 1/3 of the mozzarella & cheddar cheeses. Repeat, but end with the last 1/2 of the sauce. Reserve the remaining mozzarella & cheddar.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove foil, top with remaining mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheeses. Bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until cheeses are bubbly.

CHEESY CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat and add chicken breasts; reduce heat and let simmer until chicken falls apart easily with a fork and is no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain water, shred chicken with 2 forks, and set aside.
• While chicken is boiling, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and lay noodles in a single, flat layer on a paper towel to dry.
• Heat butter in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot butter just until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Mix shredded chicken, onion-garlic mixture, 1 cup spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning together in a large bowl.
• Mix remaining spaghetti sauce and remaining Parmesan cheese together in another bowl. Spread a thin layer on the bottom of a glass 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, spread chicken mixture on top, then add another thin layer of the sauce mixture. Repeat, leaving a final layer of noodles on top. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese bubbles, about 45 minutes.

FOUR CHEESE-CHICKEN LASAGNA

Stir in 3 cups water, the tomatoes, bay leaves, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 50 minutes. Break up the chicken with a spoon. Cook until thickened, 20 more minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
• Prepare the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain the noodles and drizzle with olive oil; set aside.

Drain and rinse under cold water; squeeze dry, then return to the bowl. Stir in the eggs, ricotta, half of the parmesan and the parsley. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss the mozzarella, asiago and the remaining parmesan in a separate bowl.
• Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with one-third of the noodles, overlapping them slightly. Cover with half of the kale mixture, then 2 more cups sauce. Sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella mixture. Repeat the layers (noodles, kale mixture, sauce, mozzarella mixture). Top with a final layer of noodles, the remaining sauce and the remaining mozzarella mixture. Set on a baking sheet.
• Loosely cover with foil and bake 40 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden and bubbly, about 25 more minutes. Let stand 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish with oil.
• Toss the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the garlic. Transfer the chicken, vegetables and juices to a medium bowl to cool.
• Wipe out the skillet, add enough oil to just cover the bottom and heat over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add 3 of the tortillas and fry until they are hot but still pale, about 10 seconds per side. Remove the tortillas to a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Fry the remaining tortillas in batches of 3, adding and heating oil as needed between batches.
• Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 4 overlapping tortillas. Top with half the chicken-poblano mixture, sprinkle with 1 cup of the Mexican cheese blend and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and dollop with 1/4 cup of the sour cream. Top with 4 more overlapping tortillas, the remaining chicken-poblano mixture, 1 cup of the remaining Mexican cheese blend and the remaining 1/4 cup each of Parmesan and sour cream. Top with the remaining tortillas and 1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend.
• Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake until the lasagna is hot and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more. Let rest for a few minutes. Cut into 4 squares, place on 4 serving plates and divide the romaine and radishes among the plates.
