Instructions
Boil the lasagna sheets in a large pot of water until they are al dente. Once done, drain them and set aside.
Cook the Chicken Filling:
- In a skillet, heat 5 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant.
- Incorporate the diced chicken thigh into the skillet, cooking until it's evenly browned.
- Season the chicken with black pepper and mushroom bouillon for an extra kick of flavor.
- Pour in the instant bolognese sauce, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld together.
Prepare the Bechamel Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Gradually whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking until it becomes golden brown and fragrant.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add the cream cheese, mushroom bouillon, and a pinch of salt, stirring until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Lasagna:
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Arrange a layer of boiled lasagna sheets evenly at the bottom of the dish.
- Spoon a portion of the chicken filling over the lasagna sheets, spreading it out evenly.
- Pour a layer of bechamel sauce over the chicken filling, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of mozarella and cheddar cheese on top of the bechamel sauce.
- Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of mozzarella cheese.
Bake the Lasagna:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese turns golden brown and bubbly.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and, if desired, sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top for an extra cheesy finish.
