Chicken Lasanga

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 90 minutes

Materials:

  • 2 chicken breasts cubed
  • 2 large onions chopped
  • 8 oz. white mushrooms sliced
  • 4 cloves of garlic diced
  • 16 oz tomato sauce
  • 8 ounce diced tomatoes
  • 1-2 packages (depending on size) oven ready lasagna noodles
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tbsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp dried thyme 
  • 1 tbsp. herbes de provence
  • 1- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 16 oz. fresh mozzarella (optional, you could use shredded mozzarella instead)
  • Vegetable oil (amounts will vary depending on skillet size)

Process:

  1. In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the chicken, salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well to combine.
  2. In a skillet with high sides add in a few tbsp. of oil. Keeping the heat on medium let the oil heat up. Add in the chicken and cook, stirring often until chicken is fully cooked through (about 4-5 minutes).
  3. Remove the cooked chicken into a clean plate or bowl and set aside.
  4. Into the same skillet add in a few more tbsp. of oil. Change the heat to medium/ high and add in the chopped onion and cook for a few minutes until the onion is fully cooked through, making sure to stir often.
  5. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant. 
  6. Add in the mushrooms. Season with salt and cook, stirring often until the mushrooms are fully cooked through.
  7. Add in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried thyme, herbes de provence, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and let simmer for 4-5 minutes. 
  8. Add the chicken back in and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
  9. Preheat the oven to 380 degrees and grease a 3 qt casserole dish with some vegetable oil.
  10. Start to layer the lasagna with the noodles on the bottom, chicken mixture and shredded cheese. 
  11. Continue to do this until you reach the top. 
  12. Top the lasagna with a top layer of noodles and a bit of the chicken mixture (mainly the sauce) and finish off with the fresh mozzarella (or shredded if you prefer).
  13. Cover with aluminum foil and bake covered for 40 minutes and uncovered for the last 10 minutes.
  14. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the lasagna to set.
  15. Cut, serve and ENJOY!
