MEXICAN CHICKEN-AND-POBLANO LASAGNA



Mexican Chicken-and-Poblano Lasagna image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish and frying the tortillas
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/4-inch strips
Kosher salt
2 poblano chiles, halved, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
12 small corn tortillas
3 1/2 cups Sargento Fine Cut Shredded 4 Cheese Mexican blend (14 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
2 radishes, thinly sliced
Special equipment: an 8-inch square baking dish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish with oil. Toss the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and cook, undisturbed, until it begins to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the poblanos, tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, the peppers are crisp-tender and the tomatoes are saucey, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the garlic. Transfer the chicken, vegetables and juices to a medium bowl to cool. Wipe out the skillet, add enough oil to just cover the bottom and heat over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add 3 of the tortillas, and fry until they are hot but still pale, about 10 seconds per side. Remove the tortillas to a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Fry the remaining tortillas in 3 batches of 3, adding and heating oil as needed between batches. Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 4 overlapping tortillas. Top with half the chicken-poblano mixture, sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese blend and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and dollop with 1/4 cup of the sour cream. Top with 4 more overlapping tortillas, the remaining chicken-poblano mixture, 1 cup of the remaining cheese blend and the remaining 1/4 cup each of Parmesan and sour cream. Top with the remaining tortillas and 1 1/2 cups shredded blend. Cover the dish loosely with foil, and bake until the lasagna is hot and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for 5 minutes more. Let rest for a few minutes. Cut into 4 squares, place on 4 serving plates and divide the romaine and radishes among the plates.

CHICKEN PARMESAN LASAGNA



Chicken Parmesan Lasagna image

Our cheesy mashup of chicken Parmesan and baked lasagna is towering with layers of crisp chicken cutlets, tomato sauce and three cheeses. We love this dish hot and bubbly right out of the oven, but it is also delicious rewarmed as leftovers. Sprinkle with an extra pinch of Parmesan before serving.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
4 large eggs
2 cups panko
1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups whole milk ricotta
One 32-ounce jar prepared tomato sauce
12 no-boil lasagna noodles (from one 9-ounce box)
2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with racks in the center and lowest positions. Put a foil-lined baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any drips.
  • Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into thirds, making 9 equal pieces (they should look like large chicken tenders). Put one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board. Put a piece of chicken in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with flat side of a meat mallet until it is very thin, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Whisk together the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, several grinds of black pepper, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using in a shallow dish until combined. Whisk 3 eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second shallow dish. Whisk together the panko, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 2 teaspoons salt, the remaining 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using in a third shallow dish.
  • Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat. Let the excess egg drip off, then press the chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat and packing the crumbs into any crevices. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet or large plate and repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets.
  • Line a clean rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 pieces of breaded chicken and cook, flipping once, until the breading is golden-brown and crisp and the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet to drain, then season with salt. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and chicken, making 3 batches total.
  • Whisk the ricotta, remaining 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until smooth and combined.
  • Spoon a quarter of the tomato sauce (about 3/4 cup) into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish and top with 4 noodles, placing them against the edges of the pan in an even layer (it's ok if they overlap). Spread a third of the ricotta mixture (about 2/3 cup) in an even layer over the noodles and top with 3 pieces of chicken. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Repeat with another 3/4 cup of tomato sauce, 4 noodles, 2/3 cup ricotta, 3 pieces of chicken, 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Finally, add another 3/4 cup tomato sauce, the remaining 4 noodles, the remaining 2/3 cup ricotta and the remaining 3 pieces of chicken. Top with the remaining 3/4 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. (It's ok if the lasagna is slightly higher than the edges of the pan.) Cover the pan tightly with nonstick aluminum foil (see Cook's Note).
  • Bake until the noodles are tender and the edges are lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Uncover the lasagna and bake until the cheese has completely melted and browned in spots, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan.

Time 2h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped, or more to taste
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
½ green bell pepper, chopped
2 shallots, chopped, or more to taste
3 mini sweet peppers, chopped, or more to taste
2 scallions, chopped, or more to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch white sugar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil

8 green olives, chopped, or more to taste
12 lasagna noodles
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Saute onion, bell peppers, shallots, sweet peppers, and scallions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer until flavors combine, about 1 hour. Add tomato paste to thicken the sauce, if necessary.
  • Meanwhile, place chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the thigh bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 45 minutes to 1 hour. Drain and let cool until easily handled.

  • 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.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a layer of lasagna noodles. Cover with some sauce, followed by some chicken, then a layer of mozzarella cheese.

  • Bake lasagna in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 25 minutes.
