Spicy Chicken Lasagna Roll-Ups

Loosely based this recipe off of this one:

http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/spi ... 07409.aspx

Except I added a few things, like some Truffled Sea Salt for the Chicken, and my own Spaghetti Sauce...









Some Homemade Sauce, the Chicken, some Herbs, some Fresh Parmesan, a couple of Eggs and some Fresh Mozzarella were tossed together for the filling...



Rolled up and placed in the CI skillet along with some more Sauce and Fresh Mozzarella...



Added some Garlic Bread toward the end to toast up...









Pretty good dinner, but my wife is the Italian Cook of the family... Her Italian food is hands down better than mine. This was decent, but I'd take a plate of my wife's Homemade Lasagna over this any day of the week.

I don't know, Dyal... Your lasagna looks pretty spectacular to me!

I have to agree!! Now, if I could only find a good substitute for the noodles (I eat low carb meals)

Jimmy, do you suppose something like cabbage leaves might work? Bacon is also low carb, but... . Or, perhaps you could try going to the Asian section of your market and substitute some kind of tofu noodles.

You know, cabbage leaves sound interesting! I've tried slices of eggplant, and even though I like eggplant, it turned out to be really disgusting.....I have an aversion to tofu so I don't think that would work for me! Cooking lasagne (in the oven) is something that I (and both of my sons) do very well and we've massaged the recipes over the years. It is truly one thing that I do miss since going low-carb. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm sure your wife would be willing to give you some lessons if you really think hers is that much better. But I agree with everyone else, your lasagna looks pretty darn good. I'd certainly take a plate. I'm intrigued with the concept of doing it in the cast-iron skillet. And you're stacking your bread on top of the skillet gave me another idea of a use for my half Moon raised grid. Nicely done all around.

Looks wonderful from here, Dyal. I'd sacrifice myself to try some. I was just looking in the pantry the other day and noticed we have a ton of lasagna noodles for some reason. My wife makes a killer lasagna, but it takes all day and its probably been about a year since she's doen it. Might just have to steal this idea and tweak it a bit. Thanks for sharing.

Just use layers of bacon or pancetta!!

Thanks a lot, guys...

Hmmm - This one has me thinking about cannelloni. Amazing what inspiration ones finds by trolling around here. I may have to experiment now. I think I could do it using a fish grate indirectly. Have to oil the thing up good, but it might just work. Thanks for the bootleg tip!

Very nice, Dyal! Did you roll the noodles side to side or end to end? I saw a cooking show where they were rolled end to end like pinwheels and thought they looked pretty neat.

Thx a lot, guys. Brad, they were rolled end to end like pinwheels. I like the technique, but will use a different filling next time.
