Best 5 Pressure Cooker Chicken Lasagne Recipes

INSTANT POT TUSCAN CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Shred Tuscan Chicken: With two forks, shred the chicken and remove the bones. Mix the shredded chicken back in the Tuscan Sauce.
• Create Ricotta Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat one large egg, then add in ¾ cup (200g) Ricotta cheese. Season with 1 tsp (1g) Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and ⅓ tsp kosher salt.
• Assemble Tuscan Chicken Lasagna: Line a 7-inch springform pan with cut out parchment paper (optional). Break the uncooked oven-ready lasagna noodles into smaller pieces, then layer them at bottom of the pan in a single layer. Layer ⅓ portion of the Tuscan Chicken on the lasagna noodles. Layer Ricotta cheese mixture on the Tuscan Chicken, then add shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat this layering cycle twice (see reference photos). Add ¼ cup (30g - 40g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the very top. Then, wrap the springform pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Pressure Cook Chicken Lasagna: Pour 1 cup (250ml) cold water, then place a trivet in Instant Pot. Create a sling foil, then place the springform pan Chicken Lasagna in Instant Pot. Close lid, then pressure cook at High Pressure for 26 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release. After 10 minutes natural release, turn Venting Knob to Venting position to release the remaining pressure.*Note: Since some oven-ready lasagna noodles take longer to cook, make sure to check that the noodles are properly cooked before proceeding to the next step. If they're still a bit firm, cover it with the aluminum foil, place it back in the Instant Pot, then Pressure Cook at High Pressure for another 5 - 6 minutes + Quick Release.
• Optional Broil Chicken Lasagna: Broil your lasagna if you want to brown the Parmesan cheese on top. Preheat the oven to 425°F when the Instant Pot is natural releasing. Place the cooked Tuscan Chicken Lasagna in a 425°F oven until the cheese is browned on top (roughly 7 - 9 mins).
• Serve Tuscan Chicken Lasagna: For an easier release, use a paring knife to gently release the Lasagna from the springform pan. If you are using a pan with a removable bottom, you can place a mason jar at the bottom of the pan, then slide down the pan to take out the Lasagna (see photo). Slice the Tuscan Chicken Lasagna, then serve immediately! Enjoy~

INSTANT POT SAUSAGE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to Saute. Add the olive oil and wait until it gets hot. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl. Add a splash of water and scrape up the brown bits, then discard. Wipe down the inside of the pot.
• Stir together the ricotta, egg, oregano, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Break the noodles into approximate thirds (it's okay if little shards break off too).
• Spray a 7-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.
• Spread a little bit of sauce in the bottom of the pan, then top it with a layer of broken lasagna noodles so that they slightly overlap and cover most of the pan. Top with a third of the ricotta mixture and about a third of the mozzarella, then a sprinkle of Parmesan. Sprinkle a third of the sausage over the cheeses, then drizzle with 1 cup marinara sauce. Repeat 2 more times: noodles, ricotta, mozz, Parm, sausage, marinara. Top with one last layer of noodles, a thin layer of the remaining marinara, making sure not to cover completely with sauce, and then the remaining mozzarella. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
• Create a sling for your pan by folding a 24-inch sheet of foil lengthwise twice place under the pan.
• Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot® and add 1 cup water. Set the lasagna on the trivet, then cover the pot. Set the pot to Pressure Cook on high and set for 30 minutes. Manually release the valve when it is done.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Carefully remove the lasagna from the pot, and place on a sheet pan. Broil the lasagna in until bubbling and browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 20 minutes before serving.

• Pour 1 1/2 cup water into the pot. Set the metal trivet inside.
• Arrange lasagna pieces over the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. Ladle 1/3 the tomato sauce on top; add 1/3 of the cooked beef and 1/3 of the fresh spinach. Dollop 1/2 the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat layers using 1/2 the goat cheese. Repeat once more, finishing with remaining mozzarella and goat cheese on top.
• Tent the top of the lasagna loosely with aluminum foil. Lower it gently onto the trivet. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Transfer the springform pan carefully to a baking sheet. Broil until cheese on top is lightly browned and bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Cover the cheese with another layer of sauce, then noodles. Repeat until all layers have been used. The final layer should be noodles topped with sauce.
