One-Pan Chicken and Broccoli Lasagne is a creamy, comforting skillet meal made with tender chicken, fresh broccoli, broken lasagne sheets, and a rich cheesy sauce—all cooked together for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped small
  • 8–10 lasagne sheets, broken into large pieces
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook for 5–7 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add chopped broccoli and sauté for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Stir in ricotta cheese until fully incorporated into the sauce.
  7. Add broken lasagne sheets, pressing them down into the liquid. Cover and simmer on low for 15–18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
  8. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top. Cover and cook for 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure pasta pieces are submerged to cook evenly.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
  • Add spinach or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Reheat with a splash of broth or milk to loosen sauce.
  • Freezing may slightly soften the pasta texture.
