3 CHEESE CHICKEN SAUSAGE LASAGNA image

Categories     Cheese     Chicken     Tomato     Bake     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 8 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Italian chicken sausage
one 8oz can of tomato sauce
one 14oz can of diced tomatoes (drained)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
6-8 lasagna noodles (use no-boil noodles if possible)
2 cups (16oz) ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups frozen spinach
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups (16oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottom frying pan over medium high heat and add Italian sausage (remove casing if in links). Break up the sausage and brown it completely then reduce heat to medium-low. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and dried Italian herbs. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. While sauce is thickening, prepare lasagna noodles following the package directions (skip this step if using no-boil or oven-ready noodles). In a large bowl, mix ricotta, frozen spinach and 3/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, reserving 1/4 cup of the Parmesan for later. Line the bottom of a 9x11 baking pan with a single layer of lasagna noodles. When sausage sauce is finished thickening, pour it over the first layer of noodles. Cover the sausage with a second layer of noodles. Spread ricotta/spinach/Parmesan mix evenly over the second layer of noodles and spread the mozzarella over that. Sprinkle the remainder of the Parmesan evenly over the top of the mozzarella and finish by sprinkling the oregano over the Parmesan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and if needed, put it in the broiler for 10-20 seconds to lightly brown cheese top. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Provided by Jenni K

Categories     Pasta

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 lasagna noodles
4 large chicken breasts, diced (approx 5 cups)
6 Tbsp butter or margarine
3/4 c green pepper, chopped
3/4 c onion, chopped
8 oz fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 +/- Tbsp Italian seasoning (approx)
pepper (to taste)
2 can(s) cream of chicken soup
1 1/4 c Parmesan cheese, shredded
16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
15 oz ricotta cheese
2 c mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking pan. Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2. Boil lasagna noodles until they're about 1/2 way done. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
  • 3. In a large saucepan, saute diced chicken breast in butter over medium heat. Season with Italian seasoning and pepper.
  • 4. When chicken is almost done cooking, add in green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Add additional seasoning if desired. Cook until vegetables are tender.
  • 5. Stir in soup, shredded Parmesan, and Velveeta. Cook until cheese is melted.
  • 6. Put 4 noodles on the bottom of the greased pan. Layer with 1/3 of the chicken mixture, dot with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, and 1/2 a cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • 7. Repeat with another layer of noodles, chicken mixture, ricotta, and 1/2 a cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • 8. Repeat for a third, and last, time, but top with all remaining mozzarella cheese (1 cup).
  • 9. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Let set 5-10 minutes before cutting.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your lasagna the best flavor. If possible, use organic chicken, fresh mozzarella cheese, and homemade tomato sauce.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality pasta sauce: The pasta sauce is one of the most important ingredients in lasagna. Use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good consistency.
  • Layer the lasagna correctly: The order of the layers is important for the lasagna to cook evenly. Start with a layer of sauce, then add a layer of noodles, then a layer of cheese, and so on.
  • Bake the lasagna at a high temperature: This will help the cheese to brown and the lasagna to cook through evenly.

Conclusion:

Chicken cheese lasagna is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends.
