Shred Tuscan Chicken


First, you’ll need to have some Tuscan Chicken. Both leftover or freshly made Tuscan Chicken will work 🙂

With two forks, shred the chicken and remove the bones.

Mix the shredded chicken back in the Tuscan Sauce.

2

Create Ricotta Cheese Mixture


In a mixing bowl, beat one large egg, then add in ¾ cup (200g) Ricotta cheese.

Season with 1 tsp (1g) Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and tsp kosher salt.

Assemble Tuscan Chicken Lasagna


Optional: Line a 7 Inch Pan with Removable Bottom with cut out parchment paper.

Break the uncooked oven-ready lasagna noodles into smaller pieces, then layer them at bottom of the pan in a single layer.

Layer ⅓ portion of the Tuscan Chicken on the lasagna noodles.

Layer Ricotta cheese mixture on the Tuscan Chicken, then add shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Pressure Cook Chicken Lasagna in Instant Pot


Pour 1 cup (250ml) cold water, then place a trivet in the Instant Pot.

Create a sling foil, then place the springform pan Chicken Lasagna in Instant Pot.

*Note: You can make a Sling Foil by folding a long strip of aluminum foil (as shown in below photo). The Sling Foil makes it easier to move the pan in and out of the Instant Pot.

Close lid, then pressure cook:

  • Pressure Cooking Method: High Pressure for 26 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release

After 10 minutes natural release, turn Venting Knob to Venting position to release the remaining pressure.

*Note: Since some oven-ready lasagna noodles take longer to cook, make sure to check that the noodles are properly cooked before proceeding to the next step. If they’re still a bit firm, cover it with the aluminum foil, place it back in the Instant Pot, then Pressure Cook at High Pressure for another 5 – 6 minutes + Quick Release.
