  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat Mixture

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger, freshly grated
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • ½ small onion, finely diced

Lasagna Layers

  • 1 package wonton wrappers

For Water Bath

  • ½ cup hot water

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped chives (or green onions)
  • Chili crisp (or chili oil)
  • Soy sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the lasagna.
  2. Make the meat mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, chili flakes, chopped green onions, and diced onion until evenly mixed.
  3. Start assembling the lasagna: Lightly grease an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch baking dish. Layer a single, slightly overlapping sheet of wonton wrappers on the bottom of the dish, then spread a thin, even layer of the chicken mixture over them.
  4. Finish assembling the lasagna: Continue layering wonton wrappers followed by the chicken mixture, repeating until all the meat mixture is used, finishing with a final layer of wonton wrappers on top.
  5. Prepare the water bath: Pour ½ cup of hot water evenly over the assembled lasagna. Place this baking dish into a larger roasting dish and fill the outer dish with hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
  6. Bake: Transfer the roasting dish to the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the wonton layers become tender and slightly translucent.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove the lasagna from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped chives, drizzle with chili crisp or chili oil, and add a splash of soy sauce before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Using low sodium soy sauce helps control the saltiness since chicken bouillon powder adds additional salt.
  • Ensure the wonton wrappers are not overlapping too tightly to allow even cooking.
  • The water bath prevents the wonton layers from drying out and helps cook the chicken mixture evenly.
  • Letting the dish rest after baking allows the layers to set for easier slicing.
  • You can substitute chicken ground fresh or store-bought, but using fresh ground chicken will give best texture.
  • Adjust chili flakes and chili oil amounts to suit your spice preference.
