Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish and frying the tortillas
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/4-inch strips
Kosher salt
2 poblano chiles, halved, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
12 small corn tortillas
3 1/2 cups Sargento Fine Cut Shredded 4 Cheese Mexican blend (14 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
2 radishes, thinly sliced
Special equipment: an 8-inch square baking dish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish with oil. Toss the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook, undisturbed, until it begins to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the poblanos, tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, the peppers are crisp-tender and the tomatoes are saucey, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the garlic. Transfer the chicken, vegetables and juices to a medium bowl to cool. Wipe out the skillet, add enough oil to just cover the bottom and heat over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add 3 of the tortillas, and fry until they are hot but still pale, about 10 seconds per side. Remove the tortillas to a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Fry the remaining tortillas in 3 batches of 3, adding and heating oil as needed between batches. Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 4 overlapping tortillas. Top with half the chicken-poblano mixture, sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese blend and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and dollop with 1/4 cup of the sour cream. Top with 4 more overlapping tortillas, the remaining chicken-poblano mixture, 1 cup of the remaining cheese blend and the remaining 1/4 cup each of Parmesan and sour cream. Top with the remaining tortillas and 1 1/2 cups shredded blend. Cover the dish loosely with foil, and bake until the lasagna is hot and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for 5 minutes more. Let rest for a few minutes. Cut into 4 squares, place on 4 serving plates and divide the romaine and radishes among the plates.

This is the worst lasagna I've ever had. It was dry, overcooked, and tasteless.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to look up several techniques that I wasn't familiar with.

I had some trouble getting the lasagna to cook evenly. The edges were overcooked while the center was still undercooked.

This lasagna was a bit too heavy for me. I think I would prefer a lighter version with less cheese.

I made this lasagna with ground turkey instead of chicken and it turned out great! I also added some extra vegetables to the sauce, like zucchini and carrots.

I had some trouble finding poblano peppers at my local grocery store, but I was able to find them at a specialty grocery store. They were definitely worth the effort to find.

This lasagna was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less poblano peppers if you don't like spicy food.
