Hey foodies! 😎 Today, I’m showing you how to make Lasagna Stuffed Chicken!
This dish is basically lasagna + chicken, and it’s EPIC. Super cheesy, saucy, and full of Italian vibes.
Perfect for dinner if you wanna impress someone (or just treat yourself)! Let’s dive in! 🔥
Ingredients:
- 4 large chicken breasts 🍗
- 1 cup ricotta cheese 🧀
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce 🍅
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder 🧄
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning 🌿
- Salt & pepper to taste 🧂
- Fresh basil for garnish 🌿
- 1 cup spinach (optional, for extra greens) 🌱
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 🔥
- Prep the chicken: Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting them horizontally, but don’t cut all the way through! You want them to open like a book. Season the inside with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 🧂
3.Make the cheesy filling: In a bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. If you’re using spinach, mix it in now! 🌱🧀
4.Stuff the chicken: Spread a couple of tablespoons of the cheesy mixture inside each chicken breast. Fold them closed. 👩🍳
5.Pan-sear the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. (Don’t worry about cooking it through, it’ll finish in the oven!) 🍳
6.Add the sauce: Place the seared chicken into a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over the top and sprinkle with more mozzarella. 🍅🧀
Bake: Pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly. 🧑🍳
