Cheesy baked chicken lasagna with layers of four cheeses and savory sauce, perfect for feeding the whole family.
Ingredients:
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 (26.5 ounce) cans spaghetti sauce, divided
  • 2 (15 ounce) containers part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • 1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, place chicken breasts in, and simmer until tender and easily shredded, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and shred the chicken using two forks, then set aside.
  • As the chicken boils, boil a large pot of lightly salted water. Add lasagna noodles and cook in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and arrange noodles in a single layer on a paper towel to dry.
  • In a small saute pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in the butter until onion turns translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Combine shredded chicken, sautéed onion-garlic mixture, 1 cup of spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl.
  • Combine the rest of the spaghetti sauce and remaining Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl. Spread a light coating on the bottom of a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, add the chicken mixture, then spread another light layer of the sauce mixture. Repeat the layering process, ending with a final layer of noodles on top. Finish by spreading the remaining sauce on top. Finally, sprinkle mozzarella and Cheddar cheese over the top before baking.
  • Bake until cheese is bubbling and dish is heated through, approximately 45 minutes in the preheated oven.
