Where to even start with lasagna. It is the OG of my childhood diet, and still a main player in the diet of my mid-twenties life. This skillet broken lasagna with ground chicken is a typical layered lasagna, reimagined.
It's a one pan meal that's perfect for busy weeknights when you're feeling lazy and don't want to clean up a bunch of dishes. I don't know about you all, but that sentence is basically me all the time.
This lasagna is different than a classic layered one because the tomato sauce and ricotta/mozzarella cheeses blend together while cooking. This forms a delicious mixture that I want to devour and dip an entire loaf of bread in.
You can use ground chicken, ground beaf, or no meat at all! This dish it totally customizable.
