Oven Baked Chicken Lasagna with a Refreshing Taste

Written by Published on Updated on May 24, 2019 in Uncategorized

I always love trying out recipes that have chicken as the main ingredient, I prefer white meat rather than red and chicken usually is my first go to favorite. This recipe has been around a very long time in my kitchen, so if you love chicken then this recipe is one that you will truly enjoy. 

A colorful meat sauce with the added peppers and carrots make a much lighter version than the usual beef sauce.  I have topped the lasagna with the Bechamel Sauce recipe I posted  yesterday, and added the delicious Parmesan cheese for a lovely crust. Every bite of this tasty lasagna has a lovely and delicate taste that just wants you going back for more. 🙂   

OVEN BAKED CHICKEN LASAGNA WITH A REFRESHING TASTE

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Lasagna Sheets
  • 750 grams Chicken minced meat
  • 1 large Carrot chopped
  • 2 Red Bell Pepper chopped
  • 1 Onion chopped optional
  • 2 Garlic Cloves diced optional
  • 5 Tomatoes grated
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 3 cups Chicken broth
  • 3 cups Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Bechamel Sauce
  • Tomato Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar

Instructions
 

  • On medium heat add olive oil into large sauce pan, along with the chicken meat and the peppers. Sauté ingredients until meat has been cooked.
  • Continue by adding in the tomatoes, chicken broth, salt, sugar, carrot, onion, and garlic. I haven’t added onion or garlic into this meat sauce because I wanted the sauce to have a lighter taste. Let this cook until broth has been absorbed.
  • Once your meat sauce is ready add in 2 cups Parmesan Cheese and stir.
  • On the bottom of a baking pan spread about 2 tablespoons of ready made tomato sauce. I usually do this so that the lasagna sheets don’t stick to the bottom of the pan, but you can also use olive oil, or butter. Start to layer the sheets as shown in picture.
  • Continue by adding the meat sauce. Layer sheets and once more the meat sauce.
  • Add Bechamel Sauce and top with 1 cup of Parmesan Cheese. Yesterday, I posted the recipe for the Bechamel Sauce, so you can use that dosage for this recipe. 🙂
  • Bake for 1 hour and until Bechamel sauce is golden brown. Once baked let this sit for 1/2 hour to cool. This way it is easier to cut pieces and serve.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
