Chicken Lasagna with Bacon
This lasagna recipe, with chunks of tender chicken, savory bacon, lots of gooey cheese and ranch flavoring, is such a fun dish to make and serve to a crowd. Different than traditional lasagna, bursting with sun dried tomatoes and artichokes. My family loves this dinner on a warm summer evening on the patio with a simple green salad and a side of our Hot Cheese Bread. It’s just as delicious on a cozy, chilly night when you’re craving comfort food at its finest.
Tips for Delicious Chicken Lasagna with Bacon
If you have a pressure cooker (Instant Pot), the easiest way to prepare the shredded chicken is to place 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ pounds) in the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes with a quick release. This cooks the chicken breasts perfectly and they will shred easily.My kids are a bit picky when it comes to trying new foods, so I usually make two pans, one with tomatoes and artichokes for the adults and another one without for the kids. Either way you make it, it’s rich, indulgent and delicious!To give your lasagna an extra kick, I love using a thick, sliced peppered bacon. It tastes best using freshly cooked bacon, but you can use precooked bacon pieces if you’re pressed for time, or use turkey bacon. All are delicious options!This lasagna freezes beautifully. Make one pan for dinner tonight and another to pop in the freezer for later. If stored tightly covered in the freezer, it’ll stay nice and fresh for up to two months.To reheat, just pop it in the oven and heat through, about 45 minutes to an hour.
