Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 small white onion, diced

Seasonings and Flour

  • 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Liquids

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup water

Pasta and Cheese

  • 6 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
  • 7 ounces Kerrygold Blarney Castle Cheese (or other soft melting cheese, such as mozzarella)

For Serving

  • fresh basil, for garnish
  • Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and have a 10-inch skillet ready to use. This ensures an efficient cooking process without delays.
  2. Cook the Ground Chicken: Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks until nearly done.
  3. Add Aromatics and Flour: When the chicken is almost cooked through, stir in the diced onion, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mixture and continue cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly to form a roux that will thicken the sauce.
  4. Incorporate Liquids: Pour in the milk and water gradually, stirring well to combine with the roux and chicken mixture, creating a creamy base.
  5. Add Noodles and Simmer: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet and bring the mixture to a brisk simmer. Cook uncovered until the noodles are tender yet firm to the bite (al dente), approximately 8 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Finish with Cheeses: Remove from heat and gently stir in the ricotta cheese, Kerrygold Blarney Castle Cheese (or other soft melting cheese), and Parmesan cheese until melted and fully combined, creating a rich, cheesy sauce.
  7. Serve: Plate the skillet white lasagna and garnish with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan cheese for added flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Breaking the lasagna noodles into pieces allows the dish to cook quickly and evenly in the skillet without layering.
  • Using ground chicken makes the dish lighter than traditional beef lasagna while keeping it flavorful.
  • If Kerrygold Blarney Castle Cheese is unavailable, substitute with shredded mozzarella or a similar soft melting cheese.
  • To make the dish dairy-free, consider substituting milk with unsweetened almond milk and using dairy-free cheese alternatives.
  • Fresh basil added at the end enhances the aroma and freshness of the dish.
