Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 tender chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
Pasta
- 8–10 no-boil pasta sheets
Sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup plant-based heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Cheese
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based cheese, shredded
Herbs and Garnishes
- Fresh parsley or thyme, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Cook them in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and tender. Let the chicken cool, then shred it into bite-sized pieces to ensure each lasagna layer is full of flavor and protein.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan, sauté the finely chopped garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent. Add the plant-based heavy cream, chicken broth, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the natural gelling agent and simmer gently until the sauce thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency that will beautifully coat the pasta layers.
- Assemble the Lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the creamy sauce on the bottom. Layer with pasta sheets, then evenly distribute shredded chicken and sprinkle generously with plant-based cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final thick layer of sauce and a generous topping of cheese for a golden, bubbly finish.
- Bake to Perfection: Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure perfect layers and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh parsley or thyme in the sauce for a fragrant and bright flavor.
- Keep pasta layers balanced to ensure even cooking and structure.
- Allow the lasagna to rest after baking for cleaner slices.
- Choose high-quality plant-based cheese for better melting and creaminess.
- Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent to achieve your preferred sauce thickness.
