Back-to-school time is here and that means back to quick and easy dinners in our house. I love making meals that look like they took hours, like this Chicken Parmesan Lasagne, that actually only took about 10 minutes to throw together. I grabbed all of my ingredients and got busy making this super-stuffed lasagne filled with layers of creamy herbed ricotta and a center layer of Parmesan chicken. It's all topped with a red sauce and more parm, then slices of fresh mozzarella and basil. It's an incredibly kid-friendly, easy weeknight meal.
Lasagne is a dish that is notorious for taking hours to make, which is why it's not one of my favorites to make during the school year, even though the family loves it. Prepping all of the ingredients and then assembling them takes forever, which is why I wanted to rethink this dish.
I also made it into a Chicken Parmesan taste-alike. :)
Here are some of my best quick lasagne shortcuts:
- I'm using oven-ready lasagne noodles so there's no pre-cooking needed. Just pile them up and they cook while in the oven.
- Jarred sauce.
- Instead of making the chicken from scratch, canned chicken is already cooked and ready to use.
Now I'm all set for a quick and delicious dinner!
