Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add the diced onion to the same skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and stir for 30 seconds.
- Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan. Bring to a simmer, then add heavy cream and frozen vegetables.
- Place oven-ready lasagna noodles on top of the mixture, breaking them as needed to fit in a single layer.
- Return chicken to the skillet, laying it on top of the noodles. Cover with foil and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until noodles are tender and sauce is bubbling. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
