Description

This Chicken Skillet Lasagna is a quick and easy one-pan meal that combines tender ground chicken, broken lasagna noodles, and a blend of three cheesy delights, all simmered together in a rich marinara sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights, this comforting dish offers the classic flavors of lasagna without the fuss of traditional layering and baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Cheese

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Pasta and Sauce

  • 9 lasagna noodles, broken
  • 2 cups marinara sauce

Seasonings and Others

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring the pan is hot enough to cook the chicken evenly.
  2. Cook the chicken: Add ground chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully browned and no longer pink.
  3. Add sauce and seasoning: Stir in the marinara sauce and Italian seasoning, mixing thoroughly to combine flavors.
  4. Add noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet and stir well to ensure the noodles are coated with the sauce mixture.
  5. Simmer noodles: Cover the skillet and let everything simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the noodles to soften.
  6. Add ricotta cheese: Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese evenly over the top of the lasagna mixture in the skillet.
  7. Top with other cheeses: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the ricotta-topped mixture.
  8. Melt the cheese: Cover the skillet again and cook until the cheeses are melted and bubbly, which should take a few minutes.
  9. Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove from heat and serve the chicken skillet lasagna hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use broken lasagna noodles to allow even cooking and easy stirring in the skillet.
  • Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or in a microwave.
