Tips for the Best Chicken Lasagna
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience – It’s juicy, tender, and shreds easily.
- Swap carbonara sauce for alfredo sauce – Both work well for a creamy texture.
- Boost the flavour – Add a pinch of garlic powder, black pepper, or fresh basil.
- Try a different cheese – Parmesan or mozzarella can be used instead of pizza cheese.
- Meal prep friendly – Assemble in advance and store in the fridge until ready to bake.
Easy Chicken Lasagna Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 BBQ chicken, shredded
- 150g baby spinach leaves
- 425g Latina Carbonara sauce (found in the fridge section)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 fresh lasagne sheets (found in the fridge section)
- 1 cup pizza shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
- Lightly grease a large rectangular casserole dish. Spread 1 tablespoon of carbonara sauce over the base to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, spinach, carbonara sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir well.
- Lay one lasagne sheet in the casserole dish.
- Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over the sheet.
- Add another lasagne sheet and repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Top with the final lasagne sheet and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
- Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Notes
- Fresh lasagne sheets and carbonara sauce are usually found in the fridge section at the supermarket.
- For extra flavour, try adding a sprinkle of parmesan or a pinch of garlic powder to the filling.
- Leftovers keep well! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?
Yes! If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess liquid before mixing it with the chicken filling. This helps prevent the lasagna from becoming too watery.
Can I freeze this lasagna?
Absolutely! Assemble the lasagna, cover it tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the cooking time.
What can I serve with chicken lasagna?
A fresh side salad, garlic bread, or roasted veggies make great side dishes.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes! Use gluten-free lasagne sheets and check that your sauce is gluten-free.
