🍝 How To Make Pioneer Woman Chicken Lasagna

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Noodles: Boil a large pot of lightly salted water. Cook lasagna noodles for about 8 minutes, until tender but firm. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
3. Cook Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Shred the chicken and set aside.
4. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, 1 cup (100 g) mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. Dissolve the bouillon cube in hot water and stir it into the chicken mixture until well combined.
5. Assemble Lasagna: Spread 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish. Add 1/2 of the chicken mixture and top with 3 lasagna noodles. Repeat the layers with the remaining chicken mixture and noodles. Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup (100 g) mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake: Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Chicken: Use fresh, boneless chicken breasts for better flavor. Cook and shred them well.
• Don’t Overcook Noodles: Boil the noodles until they’re firm. Overcooking can make them too soft.
• Soften Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is soft before mixing for a smooth texture.
• Layer Correctly: Start with sauce at the bottom. Alternate layers of chicken mixture and noodles for the best results.
• Let It Rest: Let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes after baking. This helps it set and makes it easier to cut.
