My boys adore my lasagna. Really, they would live off lasagna if I allowed it. To meet the demand, I usually make a quadruple batch of my Protein Noodle Lasagna (from my cookbook The Art of Healthy Eating) and store it in the freezer. When that stash of frozen lasagna runs out, I turn to this quick skillet lasagna, which I sometimes serve over Zoodles. I’m always dreaming up new recipes that are simple and easy to make. What is really goofy is that I almost forgot to include this one in this book, and it’s a family staple!
Ingredients
- 1 pound 80% lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 4 thin slices roast chicken breast (from the deli counter)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces), divided
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, for garnish
How to Make It
- In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, brown the beef over medium-high heat, seasoning it with the salt, until cooked through, about 5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the marinara sauce and stir well to combine. Push half of the sautéed beef off to one side of the skillet and place a layer of sliced chicken breast on the bottom of the skillet. Top the chicken with ½ cup of the shredded cheese. Scoop the beef on top of the deli meat to create an even layer. Top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese and sprinkle with the oregano.
- Cover and heat on low until the cheese is melted.
