Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ pounds bone-in chicken breasts with skin
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 lasagna noodles
cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
½ onion, finely chopped
⅔ cup buffalo wing sauce
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 cup blue cheese dressing
1 egg
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a single layer in a large pot and add enough chicken stock to cover; season with paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring stock to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Shred chicken.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Arrange noodles on a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir celery and onion until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine onion mixture and shredded chicken in a bowl; add about 1/3 the buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese and mix well.
  • Mix ricotta cheese, blue cheese dressing, and remaining buffalo wing sauce in a separate bowl; season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir egg into mixture.
  • Spread a layer of ricotta mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with a layer of 3 noodles. Spread 1/4 of the remaining ricotta mixture over noodle layer; top with 1/3 the chicken mixture, and 1/4 the mozzarella cheese. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over cheese layer and repeat layering 2 times more ending with a layer of ricotta mixture and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and top is lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Cool lasagna at least 20 minutes before cutting.

SKILLET CHICKEN LASAGNA



Skillet Chicken Lasagna image

What you'll do is just layer, layer, layer. Little bit of (store-bought!) marinara down in the bottom of a big cast-iron skillet (I used a 13-incher for this). Then goes a layer of the cooked, broken lasagna sheets. Then some shredded chicken. Then a few dollops with the herbed ricotta. Followed by shredded mozzarella, and then more sauce. Repeat about three more times. It doesn't have to be perfect, because a) life and b) you'll top it all with the remaining sauce and more shredded cheese.

Provided by Bev Weidner

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
15 lasagna sheets, broken into thirds
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
One 15-ounce container whole-milk ricotta
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus leaves for garnish
1 lemon, zested (about 1 teaspoon)
One 24-ounce jar marinara
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 4 cups shredded chicken)
4 cups shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles, covered, until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes or according to package directions. Drain the noodles and toss with 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl.
  • Combine the ricotta, parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
  • Spoon about 2/3 cup marinara in the bottom of a large 13-inch cast-iron skillet. In a single layer, arrange about a third of the cooked lasagna sheets over the sauce. Sprinkle about a third of the chicken over the noodles, followed by five to six dollops of the herbed ricotta mixture and about a third of the mozzarella. Repeat two more times for a total of three layers, or until everything is in the skillet.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Flip the oven to broil and bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 5 minutes. (Don't walk away! It happens fast.)
  • Let the lasagna rest about 10 minutes. Garnish with the Parmesan and parsley leaves.
