Four-Cheese Lasagna image

Cheese really stars in this lighter lasagna, which I created a few years ago. It can be prepared ahead of time and baked later. I sometimes make up a couple batches and freeze them in case company drops by. -Janet Myers, Napanee, Ontario

Cheesy lasagna made using shredded chicken in place of ground beef or sausage.

Provided by Carol Prather

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 each skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 (26.5 ounce) cans spaghetti sauce, divided
2 (15 ounce) containers part-skim ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat and add chicken breasts; reduce heat and let simmer until chicken falls apart easily with a fork and is no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain water, shred chicken with 2 forks, and set aside.
  • While chicken is boiling, 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 and lay noodles in a single, flat layer on a paper towel to dry.
  • Heat butter in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot butter just until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Mix shredded chicken, onion-garlic mixture, 1 cup spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese, 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning together in a large bowl.
  • Mix remaining spaghetti sauce and remaining Parmesan cheese together in another bowl. Spread a thin layer on the bottom of a glass 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles, spread chicken mixture on top, then add another thin layer of the sauce mixture. Repeat, leaving a final layer of noodles on top. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and Cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese bubbles, about 45 minutes.
