Ingredients
- 14 oz chicken breast, minced
- 3 pcs onion, chopped
- 5 3/10 oz dry lentils
- 0.85 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 3/10 cup chicken broth
- 4 pcs lasagna sheets
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- a drizzle oil
- 1 2/5 oz grated cheese
Cottage Cheese Mixture
- 11 oz cottage cheese
- 0.42 cup milk or plant milk
- a pinch salt
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 356°F (350°F).
- 2Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until it turns golden.
- 3Add the minced chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until the chicken is browned all over.
- 4Stir in the dry lentils, crushed tomatoes, and chicken broth; bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for about 15‑20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender, adding extra broth if the mixture looks dry.
- 5While the sauce simmers, prepare the cottage‑cheese mixture as described in the component step.
- 6In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the chicken‑lentil sauce, place a layer of lasagna sheets, then spread a layer of the cottage‑cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with a top layer of sauce.
- 7Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the final layer.
- 8Bake the assembled lasagna in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
