Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces bow tie pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced or diced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or herbes de Provence
Salt
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 jar good-quality marinara sauce (14 to 16 ounces)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese, plus more if needed
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese, plus more if needed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more if needed and for serving
12 fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade or chopped, plus more if needed and for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions; drain and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the Italian seasoning and some salt. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the onions and garlic to the same skillet and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the broth, then scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen the bits. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to let the broth reduce. Add the marinara sauce and red pepper flakes, bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and add the drained pasta, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan and basil. Add the cooked chicken on top. Toss to combine, then add more of the mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan or basil until the sauce is just how you like it. Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan and a little basil on top.

SKILLET CHICKEN LASAGNA



Skillet Chicken Lasagna image

What you'll do is just layer, layer, layer. Little bit of (store-bought!) marinara down in the bottom of a big cast-iron skillet (I used a 13-incher for this). Then goes a layer of the cooked, broken lasagna sheets. Then some shredded chicken. Then a few dollops with the herbed ricotta. Followed by shredded mozzarella, and then more sauce. Repeat about three more times. It doesn't have to be perfect, because a) life and b) you'll top it all with the remaining sauce and more shredded cheese.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
15 lasagna sheets, broken into thirds
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
One 15-ounce container whole-milk ricotta
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus leaves for garnish
1 lemon, zested (about 1 teaspoon)
One 24-ounce jar marinara
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 4 cups shredded chicken)
4 cups shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles, covered, until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes or according to package directions. Drain the noodles and toss with 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl.
  • Combine the ricotta, parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
  • Spoon about 2/3 cup marinara in the bottom of a large 13-inch cast-iron skillet. In a single layer, arrange about a third of the cooked lasagna sheets over the sauce. Sprinkle about a third of the chicken over the noodles, followed by five to six dollops of the herbed ricotta mixture and about a third of the mozzarella. Repeat two more times for a total of three layers, or until everything is in the skillet.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Flip the oven to broil and bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 5 minutes. (Don't walk away! It happens fast.)
  • Let the lasagna rest about 10 minutes. Garnish with the Parmesan and parsley leaves.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will allow you to cook the lasagna in one pan, making it easier and less messy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the lasagna will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the lasagna over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Stir the lasagna frequently: This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the cheese at the end: This will help to prevent it from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
  • Let the lasagna rest before cutting: This will help to keep it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Skillet chicken lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make one-pan meal. It is perfect for busy weeknights or for feeding a crowd. With a few simple tips, you can make a skillet chicken lasagna that is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
