Description
A rich lasagna made with white sauce, chicken, and multiple cheeses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken, onion, and garlic. Cook until chicken is browned and onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
- In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, sour cream, egg, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth. Heat gently until warm.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Spread a thin layer of the soup mixture in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange three cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
- Spoon half of the cooked chicken mixture over the ricotta layer.
- Top with one-third of the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layers: three noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining chicken mixture, and another third of the mozzarella cheese.
- Top with the final three noodles. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the top layer of noodles.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked, shredded chicken for the ground chicken if preferred.
- For a smoother white sauce, you can make a simple béchamel sauce instead of using canned soup.
