Zucchini lasagna with minced chicken

Chicken & turkey
Be the first to rate it!

Today we're making a zucchini and chicken lasagna, the kind of comforting dish you want to place right in the middle of the table to share. We alternate thin ribbons of zucchini with minced meat, tomato sauce, and shredded cheese to build layers packed with flavor. We finish it in the oven for a simple, homemade favorite.

Prep: 20 minCook: 45 minServes: 8

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need

  • 2 large zucchinis or 3 medium
  • 1kg minced chicken and turkey mix
  • Oregano
  • Healthy tomato sauce (recipe on my blog)
  • Pink salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 460g low-fat lactose-free shredded cheese

Step by step

Method

  1. 1Add a drizzle of olive oil to a deep skillet and cook the minced meat.
  2. 2Meanwhile, wash and thinly slice the zucchinis using a mandoline; set aside.
  3. 3Season the meat with salt, add oregano to taste, and mix well.
  4. 4Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
  5. 5Assemble the lasagna in an ovenproof baking dish: a layer of zucchini, tomato sauce, minced meat, cheese, zucchini, and repeat until finished with a generous layer of cheese on top.
  6. 6Bake for 30-35min at 200ºC using bottom heat only so the cheese doesn't burn (you can broil for the final minute if you like; I didn't).
  7. 7All done! Our ZUCCHINI AND CHICKEN LASAGNA is ready.
