Chicken Lasagne(Lazania)

Lasagne or Lazania whatever you say it is an amazing Italian Dish. I had it first in one of my closest friend's(I call her boudi) house as a snacks but believe me you can have it as a lunch or dinner.It was delicious and a mouthwatering dish with lots of vegetables and cheese. As my husband is a pure and honest non-vegetarian I had to replace all the vegetable with chicken. Today I will show you my own version of lasagne which is slightly modified according to my taste or you can say I have 'Indianzed' the recipe. I will surely gonna show you the traditional lasagne on my upcoming post but for the time being I am sharing 'Indian Chicken Lasagne'..


Ingredients:
 Diced chicken boneless pieces 750gms,12 lasagne pasta,3 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese,2cup ricota cheese,1cup parmesan cheese,1 egg,1 teaspoon chili flakes,2 table spoon tomato sauce,1 teaspoon black pepper powder, 1 teaspoon chopped garlic, 2 teaspoon oil,1 cup chopped coriander,1 medium size *ragu sauce (tomato,garlic,onion),salt as per taste.

*you can replace ragu with your own sauce. you can easily make it at home. Take 2-3 tomato's, 1 small size onion and 3-4 cloves of garlic in a mixer and make a smooth paste.In a pan add about 2 teaspoon of oil and pour the mixture. Add 2-3 teaspoon of chopped parsley and cook it for 5 min.let it cool down and your tomato,garlic,onion sauce (red sauce)is ready.

Procedure:
  • put your frying pan in high flame and add 2 teaspoon of oil.
  • add diced chicken,let it get light brown and then turn it.
  • sprinkle some salt and black pepper on it.Then add chopped garlic and let it mix with the chicken.After that add rest of the pepper powder and tomato sauce and fry it for another 5 min in low flame.
  • take a big container,fill it with a lot of water and let it boil.Add 1 table spoon of salt in it.When it start boiling add lasagne sheets into it and let it boil for 5-7 min.Remember the quantity of the water should be so that all the sheets go inside it.After 5min remove the sheets from the water and immediately wash it with cold water and put it aside.
  • take a separate bowl.Add 1 cup ricota,1 cup parmesan,1 egg,1teaspoon salt,1 cup chopped coriander and mix it really well.This is our white sauce.
  • Now we have to do the layering.Take a baking tray and spread 2table spoon of ragu or the red sauce on the tray.Then put 4 sheets on top of it so that all the sauce get covered.While doing that make sure that one sheet do overlap with other.
  • Then put 1/3rd of white sauce on top of it and spread it evenly.
  • Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on top of it evenly.
  • Add one third of the chicken on top of that and on top of the chicken add one third of the red sauce.Again put 4 lasagne sheets and repeat the process.
  • You can make how many layers you want but I prefer to do 2-3.
  • Do not put sheets on the last layer . Just add the chicken , the sauce on top of it ,sprinkle some shredded mozzarella and some chili flakes on top of it.
  • Preheat your oven on 350 degree Fahrenheit which is 180 degree Celsius.
  • cover the baking tray with aluminum foil and bake it for 20min.
  • after 20 min remove the foil and bake it for another 5-10.


After 5min let it rest for another 5-7min and then you can enjoy your Lazania...
