Steps:
- Shred Tuscan Chicken: With two forks, shred the chicken and remove the bones. Mix the shredded chicken back in the Tuscan Sauce.
- Create Ricotta Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat one large egg, then add in ¾ cup (200g) Ricotta cheese. Season with 1 tsp (1g) Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and ⅓ tsp kosher salt.
- Assemble Tuscan Chicken Lasagna: Line a 7-inch springform pan with cut out parchment paper (optional). Break the uncooked oven-ready lasagna noodles into smaller pieces, then layer them at bottom of the pan in a single layer. Layer ⅓ portion of the Tuscan Chicken on the lasagna noodles. Layer Ricotta cheese mixture on the Tuscan Chicken, then add shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat this layering cycle twice (see reference photos). Add ¼ cup (30g - 40g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the very top. Then, wrap the springform pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Pressure Cook Chicken Lasagna: Pour 1 cup (250ml) cold water, then place a trivet in Instant Pot. Create a sling foil, then place the springform pan Chicken Lasagna in Instant Pot. Close lid, then pressure cook at High Pressure for 26 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release. After 10 minutes natural release, turn Venting Knob to Venting position to release the remaining pressure.*Note: Since some oven-ready lasagna noodles take longer to cook, make sure to check that the noodles are properly cooked before proceeding to the next step. If they're still a bit firm, cover it with the aluminum foil, place it back in the Instant Pot, then Pressure Cook at High Pressure for another 5 - 6 minutes + Quick Release.
- Optional Broil Chicken Lasagna: Broil your lasagna if you want to brown the Parmesan cheese on top. Preheat the oven to 425°F when the Instant Pot is natural releasing. Place the cooked Tuscan Chicken Lasagna in a 425°F oven until the cheese is browned on top (roughly 7 - 9 mins).
- Serve Tuscan Chicken Lasagna: For an easier release, use a paring knife to gently release the Lasagna from the springform pan. If you are using a pan with a removable bottom, you can place a mason jar at the bottom of the pan, then slide down the pan to take out the Lasagna (see photo). Slice the Tuscan Chicken Lasagna, then serve immediately! Enjoy~

Steps:
- Turn on a multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and the select Saute function. Heat olive oil; add ground beef and salt. Cook, breaking it into clumps with a spatula, until thoroughly browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl. Wash the pot and return it to the machine.
- Pour 1 1/2 cup water into the pot. Set the metal trivet inside.
- Arrange lasagna pieces over the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. Ladle 1/3 the tomato sauce on top; add 1/3 of the cooked beef and 1/3 of the fresh spinach. Dollop 1/2 the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat layers using 1/2 the goat cheese. Repeat once more, finishing with remaining mozzarella and goat cheese on top.
- Tent the top of the lasagna loosely with aluminum foil. Lower it gently onto the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.

PRESSURE COOKER CHICKEN LASAGNE
This recipe uses my Recipe #195716 "Pressure Cooker Chicken Fillets, Basis for Savory Pies Etc" up to Step 9 as a basis for preparing the chicken. That means that you have before you a heap of yummy chicken, stock and mushy herby veggies and can now make your lasagna... This recipe contains no cans of "cream of..." soups, or milk or cream in the sauce and is one that whips up in next to no time because most of the work has been done while in the preparation of the chicken stage. No boil lasagne noodles here in The Netherlands come in (dry weight) packets of 250g (8.8 oz) and there are 30 small sheets to a package.. I use about 80% of a packet to make this. ZWT REGION: Italy.

Steps:
- In the opened pressure cooker, add the oil and heat at medium until it just begins to smoke. Add the onions, ground beef, salt, and pepper and continue cooking until the onions become transluscent and the beef has browned.
- Add the pasta sauce and water to the beef and onions. Stir and remove from heat into a large bowl.
- In another bowl, mix the ricotta, eggs, parmesan, garlic, seasoning, and some more salt and pepper as desired.
- Fill the bottom of the cooled pressure cooker with 1/4 inch of water. Layer with a fifth of the beef and sauce into the bottom then top with noodles. Cover the noodles with a third of the cheese. Cover the cheese with another layer of sauce, then noodles. Repeat until all layers have been used. The final layer should be noodles topped with sauce.
- Lock the lid and bring to high pressure. Reduce heat to level to maintain high pressure and cook for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, quick release pressure and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve from the pressure cooker pot with some crusty bread.
Tips:
- Use a good quality pasta sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your lasagna.
- Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Layer the lasagna carefully. Make sure that the noodles, sauce, and cheese are evenly distributed.
- Don't overcrowd the pressure cooker. This will prevent the lasagna from cooking evenly.
- Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Pressure cooker chicken lasagna is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and hearty meal. It's perfect for busy weeknights or for feeding a crowd. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your lasagna turns out perfectly every time.
