Jac's Ground Chicken Lasagna
Description
This ground chicken lasagna may be a little time consuming to prepare but serve it alongside a Caesar salad and some crusty bread, and you'll agree it's worth the wait.
Ingredients
•
1 pound ground chicken
•
2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
•
1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
•
1/2 cup dry red wine
•
1/2 cup water
•
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
•
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
•
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
•
2 eggs, beaten
•
2 teaspoons dried basil, or to taste
•
2 teaspoons dried parsley, or to taste
•
9 no-boil lasagna noodles
•
aluminum foil
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground chicken in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add marinara sauce, red wine, and water. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese, eggs, basil, and parsley together in a bowl.
4
Spread a 1/4 of the meat sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, top with 3 noodles, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice, and top with remaining meat sauce. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove foil and top with remaining Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 minutes more.
