How To Make Chicken lasagna
Step 1: We begin the preparation of our chicken lasagna, for this, in a pot or casserole with a little oil and over medium heat, add the onion, garlic and let it cook for 4 minutes, then add the shredded chicken and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
Step 2: Add the crushed natural tomato, the chicken broth and stir, then add the basil leaves, a little salt, a little pepper, stir and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes or until the juices reduce.
Step 3: In an ovenproof container, we are going to assemble our chicken lasagna, to do this, we start by placing a little of our béchamel sauce (to prevent the lasagna plates from sticking), then we place the lasagna plates, add half of our chicken filling, then a little bechamel sauce and repeat this process 1 more time (lasagna plates, chicken filling and bechamel sauce) then, for the last layer, we place the lasagna plates, bechamel sauce and grated parmesan cheese, so that we get a crispier surface.
Step 4: We introduce our chicken lasagna in the oven at a temperature of 220 ºC / 428 °F for about 15 minutes or until the top layer is well gratinized (the cooking of the lasagna will depend on the type of lasagna dish you use, in this recipe we use pre-cooked dishes that are left to soak in hot water for 10 minutes and then finish cooking in the oven), remove our lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes, cut a piece and we have our great chicken lasagna ready.
