Chicken Caprese Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the agnolotti according to package directions. Drain.
• Meanwhile, bring the heavy cream and shallot to a boil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer to thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
• Layer half the agnolotti in a 9-by-11-inch baking dish. Top the pasta with the sliced tomatoes, basil and three-quarters of the mozzarella. Top with the remaining agnolotti and mozzarella. Pour the cream mixture over the top. Bake until golden and bubbly, 25 minutes. Cool slightly. Sprinkle Parmesan on top. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, eggs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of the basil, the garlic and salt. In another medium bowl, mix chicken, spinach and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
• Spread 1/4 cup of the pasta sauce in bottom of baking dish; top with a layer of 3 noodles. On top of noodles, spoon half of ricotta mixture, half of chicken mixture, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce. Repeat. Top with remaining noodles, remaining pasta sauce, tomatoes and remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until noodles are tender and casserole is bubbly. Let stand uncovered 10 minutes; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup basil.

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry. Cut a lengthwise pocket into the thick side of each breast without cutting all the way through to the other side. Season breasts inside and out using 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Stuff each breast with a quarter of the mozzarella, 2 to 3 tomato slices (depending on size) and 4 to 5 basil leaves. Enclose the filling as much as possible by pulling the chicken over the filling. (The chicken can be prepared to this point, covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours.)
• Heat olive oil in a large 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out garlic and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the oil in the pan.
• Increase heat to medium-high and sauté chicken until golden on the bottom, about 6 minutes. If the breasts darken too quickly, lower heat. Flip and cook for 5 minutes, then cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through and filling is hot.
• Using a spatula, carefully transfer chicken to a platter or four plates. Pour pan juices over the chicken. Garnish with pesto, reserved garlic and remaining basil leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• In a large bowl, combine chicken, artichokes, 1 cup mozzarella, grated parmesan, ½ the basil and tomatoes. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, ½ and ½ and garlic until well combined. Using a spoon, stir in half the basil. Set half of the cream cheese mixture aside and stir the remaining half in with the chicken mixture.
• Take half of the cream cheese mixture (without the chicken) and spread it into a 9x13 baking dish, covering the bottom. Lay 3 noodles on top and then top with ⅓ of the chicken mixture. Repeat the noodles and chicken mixture two more times, ending with a noodle layer.
• Top with the last half of the cream cheese mixture.
• Place the whole milk mozzarella slices on top in rows of three, like shown.
• Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over everything, and then top with more basil if desired.
• Bake 25 minute or until heated through.
• Slice and serve! Enjoy!
