4 Ingredient Lasagna Stuffed Chicken
This 4-Ingredient Lasagna Chicken is the perfect weeknight meal when you want something fast, easy and delicious. It has all the flavors of a traditional lasagna without the carbs or the hassle. It’s also keto-friendly!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts , 6-8 ounces each
- 1 cup (220 g) farmer cheese
- 1 cup (88 g) shredded Italian cheese blend, plus additional for topping
- 1/2 cup (121 g) tomato marinara sauce, plus additional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a large baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and then place on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice horizontally into the thickest part of the chicken breast, creating a pocket for the stuffing. Be sure not to cut all the way through to the other side, leaving about a half-inch border intact.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the farmer cheese and the shredded Italian cheese.
- Evenly divide the cheese mixture between the chicken breasts, stuffing into the cavity. If you have some leftover, that is fine. How much you will need will depend on the size of your chicken breasts. As long as there is a thick layer inside each one, then that is enough. Add about 2 tbsp of marinara across the cheese layer.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Top chicken with very warm marinara sauce. I added about 2 tbsp over the top of each one. Sprinkle some Italian cheese on top. The heat from the chicken and marinara should cause the cheese to melt. You can also put the chicken back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese on top is fully melted. Serve while chicken is still warm. If desired, you can also garnish with finely chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Farmer cheese is sold in most supermarkets in the US. I used 365 by Whole Foods Farmer cheese.* You can also make your own farmer cheese. There are several recipes on the internet for making your own.
