Healthy Fact of the Day

While indulgent, this Buffalo Chicken Lasagna incorporates lean protein from the chicken, making it a heartier and more satisfying dish than traditional lasagna.

Ingredients

 

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (or more, to taste)
  • 1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cooked chicken and Buffalo sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well.

  5. Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.

  6. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by 1/3 of the Buffalo chicken mixture, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

  7. Repeat the layers twice, ending with the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  10. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.

Enjoy this spicy and comforting Buffalo Chicken Lasagna, a delicious twist on a classic Italian favorite.

Porcini and Chestnut Soup

This soup combines nutritious ingredients for a healthy yet indulgent dish. Chestnuts are low in fat but rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Porcini mushrooms provide protein, B vitamins, and immune-supporting compounds. To make healthier, use milk instead of cream or try coconut milk for a dairy-free version. The olive oil offers heart-healthy fats. For a lighter version, skip the cream and rely on chestnuts for natural creaminess. This soup is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by omitting dairy. The combination of mushrooms and chestnuts creates a satisfying meal with relatively few calories.

Strawberry Santas

These festive treats offer some nutritional benefits. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Mascarpone provides protein and calcium. To make healthier, use light mascarpone or Greek yogurt cream cheese blend. Consider using dark chocolate chips for added antioxidants. The portion size is naturally controlled by the size of the strawberry. These make a lighter alternative to traditional holiday cookies. Fresh berries provide natural sweetness with fewer calories than processed desserts. For an even lighter version, reduce sugar in the cream mixture.
