Here’s a delicious Lasagna Stuffed Chicken recipe—a cheesy, flavorful twist on classic lasagna, wrapped inside juicy chicken breasts.
🍗 Lasagna Stuffed Chicken
🧂 Ingredients (serves 4)
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cooked pasta sauce or marinara
- 4–6 slices cooked ham or pepperoni (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
🥣 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
2. Prepare the chicken
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally, creating a pocket (don’t cut all the way through).
- Season inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
3. Make the filling
- In a bowl, mix ricotta, ½ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, and a few spoonfuls of marinara sauce.
- Optional: add chopped cooked spinach or cooked ham/pepperoni.
4. Stuff the chicken
- Spoon filling into each pocket.
- Secure with toothpicks if needed.
5. Sear (optional for extra flavor)
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
6. Bake
- Place chicken in prepared baking dish.
- Spoon remaining marinara sauce over the top and sprinkle remaining mozzarella.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
7. Serve
- Remove toothpicks carefully.
- Serve with garlic bread, salad, or steamed vegetables.
🔥 Tips for Perfect Stuffed Chicken
- Don’t overstuff—too much filling can spill out during cooking.
- Searing first locks in juices and gives a golden crust.
- Leftovers can be sliced and reheated gently for sandwiches or pasta topping.
If you want, I can also give a “one-pan cheesy lasagna chicken” shortcut version that’s even faster and still keeps the lasagna flavors intact.
