Chicken Lasagna is layers of delicate chicken, velvety melty cheese and sharp tomato flavours in the middle of chewy pasta sheets; an immediate comfort. A gluten-free lasagna version and one that has fewer calories than the beef ones yet is still full of textures coming from a variety of vegetables. For example, a chicken filling is gently saut ed with onion and garlic to make what is called a recado (seasoning or base), which also makes it pick up all those flavours herbs salsa romesco, skin or flakes of red chilli seeds etc. This creates a strong, fragrant base that goes well with the tomato sauce — and by all means, make your own or just buy some in. This was the sauce that cooked with the chicken till it became a thick consistency filled with flavour, which forms the heart of this lasagna. The layers of cheese are a significant part of the chicken lasagna. The luscious creaminess of ricotta or cottage cheese and mozzarella set with a little parmesan stands out against the savoury chicken and tomato filling. B chamel: Some versions also include b chamel sauce, which is just a rich creamy layer to the dish. Layering the lasagna is a painstaking process and at each step layers of pasta, chicken and cheese are added to create each mouthful of flavour. After baking, the cheese turns a appetizing golden shade and bubbles up over all the delicious fillings to create that yummy layer of gooey goodness on top. Chicken lasagna is a hearty, satisfying dish when it is under the broil and this makes it a great meal for family dinners or get-togethers!

• 500 gms chicken
• 2 garlic clove
• 1 onion
• 1 tomato
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 400 gms tomato
• Salt
• 1 eggs
• Pepper
• Cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

• Boil the lasagna noodles in a big pot according to their package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set them aside. You can toss them into a little olive oil so that they won't stick to each other.
• Then, place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet and heat over medium. Add your chopped onions and saut until they turn translucent.
• Then cut the heat a little bit and add in the minced garlic; saut for just 1 minute until fragrant.
• Add the ground or shredded chicken to the skillet.
• Season generously with oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer the chicken until it browns and cooks through altogether—5-7 minutes might do it.
• Stir in crushed tomatoes or your homemade tomato sauce, and mix everything. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavours to blend. Once done, take it off the heat and let it sit.
• To your cheese mixture, grab a mixing bowl.
• Combine ricotta or cottage cheese with a cup of shredded mozzarella, some grated Parmesan, and an egg if using, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything well while seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C). Begin layering in a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Spread half the chicken filling over the bottom layer. Add a layer of lasagna noodles over the chicken, and then a portion of the cheese mixture spread over the noodles. Add another layer of the chicken filling. Continue layering like this until you use up all your ingredients. Make sure your final layer is noodles.
• For the final touch, spread the remaining chicken filling out and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese. If you want it to be extra gooey and cheesy, go ahead and add even more on top of this last layer.
• Close up the dish with foil without letting the foil touch your cheese. Put that in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
• For the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking, remove the foil and roast the top until it is bubbly with the cheesiness that melted into golden muenster.
• Let this sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing it. This allows the layers to be set so that they can easily be sliced. Serve warm, and enjoy this delectable Chicken Lasagna, It is great for family gatherings and is sure to be a winner with everyone!
