Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Lasagna

My heart rejoices at the sight, smell, sound…even the thought of lasagna! hehe~ It’s one of my all-time favorite comfort food since I was a kid.

So I was super happy when so many of you share my obsession and loved our Instant Pot Lasagna! 😀

One night, we had some leftovers after enjoying a big satisfying meal of Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken (wished we had a second stomach to finish it all off!).

We thought, hey! Why not combine the 2 ultimate favorites into 1, and turn this amazingly satisfying Tuscan Chicken into a Mouthwatering Chicken Lasagna?

This was when this deliciously glorious match made in heaven was born. ohhhh yaaasssss!!

A layered bite of tender juicy chicken, caramelized mushroom crunch and sweet sun-dried tomatoes bursting with creamy rich cheesy-savory-sweet-umami depths of flavors & satisfying mouthfeel. oh-so-good!

Let’s jump right in!! 😀

Step-by-Step Guide: Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Lasagna

*Note: We were so focused (hungry) on preparing the meal that we forgot to take the step by step photos (doh!)

Sooo, please bear with us as the following step by step photos are shown for reference & educational purposes only (scraped from our Instant Pot Lasagna recipe). 😛

We’ll need a little of your imagination, and magically replace the red Spaghetti Sauce with white Tuscan Chicken Sauce Mixture 😉

Tools for Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Lasagna

• Instant Pot Pressure Cooker
• 7 Inch Cheesecake Pan with Removable Bottom
• Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl Set
• Aluminum Foil
• Parchment Paper
• Trivet or Steaming Rack

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.

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 ⅓ 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.

Then, repeat this layering cycle (Lasagna Noodles–Tuscan Chicken–Ricotta Cheese–Mozzarella Cheese) twice.

Add ¼ cup (30g – 40g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the very top.

Then, wrap the springform pan tightly with aluminum foil.

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.

Optional Broil Chicken Lasagna

Ta da! Your Instant Pot Chicken Lasagna is done!! 😀

If you want to brown the Parmesan cheese on top:

Preheat the oven to 425°F when the Instant Pot is natural releasing.

Place the cooked Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Lasagna in a 425°F oven until the cheese is browned on top (roughly 7 – 9 minutes).

Serve Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Lasagna

For an easier release, use a paring knife to gently release the Lasagna from the springform pan.

If you are using a Fat Daddio Cheesecake Pan with Removable Bottom, you can place a mason jar at the bottom of the pan, then push down the pan to take out the Lasagna (as shown in below photo).

Slice the Tuscan Chicken Lasagna and serve immediately!! 😀

Enjoy your Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken Lasagna!~ 🙂
