Chicken Lasagna
Try out this incredibly flavorful and layered chicken lasagna recipe that is very simple to make.
Ingredients
- 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup hot water
- 1 cube chicken bouillon
- 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
Instructions
1. Fire Up the Oven: First things first – set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat while you get the rest going.
2. Noodle Time: Grab a big ol’ pot, fill it with water, toss in a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil.
Add those lasagna noodles and let them cook for about 8 minutes until they’re perfectly al dente.
3. Chicken Prep: While your noodles are doing their thing, pop the chicken into a saucepan, cover it with water, and bring it to a boil.
Cook for around 20 minutes or until it’s no longer pink and juicy. Once it’s done, shred that chicken and set it aside for a moment!
4. Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup of mozzarella and some cream cheese.
Next, mix up some hot water with a bouillon cube until it’s dissolved, then pour it over the chicken mixture.
Stir everything together until it’s creamy, cheesy, and irresistible.
5. Layering Fun: Spread a third of the spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Lay down half of the chicken mixture, top it with three lasagna noodles, and repeat the process.
Finish off with the rest of the sauce and a sprinkle of the remaining mozzarella on top for good measure.
6. Bake & Enjoy: Pop your lasagna masterpiece into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
When the cheesy goodness is bubbling and golden, that’s how you know it’s prepared. Sprinkle some basil on the top and you’re ready to dig in!
While this amazing Chicken lasagna recipe does take some time to prepare, the results will be well worth the effort and I am confident that the dish will exceed your expectations.
