Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Lasagna noodles (broken into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the noodles are tender.
Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for another 5 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through.
Dollop ricotta cheese evenly over the lasagna mixture, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the skillet and let cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh basil if desired, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chicken N Cheese Skillet Lasagna!
