Low-Carb Eggplant Lasagna with Chicken Meat Sauce + Uncle Steve’s Sauce

You won’t miss your pasta with this low carb, gluten-free, low fat Eggplant Lasagna! It’s all delicious minus the carbs and the red meat…

Low-Carb Eggplant Lasagna with Chicken Meat Sauce

So I love Lasagna and I was craving for pasta because of this low carb, low sugar, low fat diet. I had to remind myself that I had a goal and it is to regain my health and the balance in my life. So instead of giving in to cravings which I absolutely swore I wouldn’t do, I decided to make this wonderful noodle-less Eggplant Lasagna with Chicken Meat Sauce to satisfy my cravings.

Lo and behold! It didn’t just satisfy my cravings… it awakened my tastebuds as to how delicious healthy can be!It was so flavorful that even Ykaie loved it and peanutbutter♥ thought I used beef in the sauce!

Instead of lasagna noodles, I used sliced eggplants which I roasted in the oven for about 7-10 minutes to dry it out a bit.

Then layered it in a baking pan with the chicken meat sauce, cottage cheese mixture, and low fat mozzarella cheese. Oh gosh, if you could only smell the kitchen while this was baking, you wouldn’t think I’m making something healthy. Ykaie said it smells like the pizza at S&R…LOL!

And she couldn’t wait to have a taste!

Low-Carb Eggplant Lasagna with Chicken Meat Sauce

I was going to make homemade marinara sauce for this recipe but I remembered that Steve Schirripa (Anthony of my favorite series Blue Bloods!) sent me some of his Uncle Steve’s Italian Specialties Sauces sometime in December. I decided to use it for this recipe because I so wanted to try it for the longest time. But don’t worry, I also left the recipe for homemade marinara sauce below.

Let me tell you a bit about Uncle Steve’s Italian Specialties. It’s Steve Schirripa’s recipe that he inherited from his grandmother. The sauces tastes so wonderfully homemade. It feels like waking up in an Italian household with the sauce simmering on the stove and you can smell the aroma of tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil in the air.

It comes in three variants: Marinara Sauce, Tomato Basil Saucce, and Arrabiata Sauce.

It’s gluten, dairy, egg, and soy free. AND It fits any special diet as Uncle Steve’s is suitable for vegan, vegetarian, paleo and organic diet plans. It’s certified kosher and organic too!

I love it!! Now I just wish they would go international because I don’t know where to buy it here in the Philippines.

Thank you Steve Schirripa!!!!

Such a wonderful recipe that will surely be a permanent here in our household. I really hope you try this recipe ’cause I’m sure you’ll really really love it.

It’s only the beginning of my low carb, low sugar, low fat journey and I must say that I’m enjoying cooking new and healthy recipes for me and my family.

Low-Carb Eggplant Lasagna with Chicken Meat Sauce
 
Print
Author: Peachy Adarne
Ingredients
  • 3 eggplants, sliced thinly
  • olive oil spray or 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • 250g ground chicken
  • 2 cups store-bought Marinara sauce or homemade Marinara sauce (recipe below), I used Uncle Steve's
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese/ cream cheese (Or cottage cheese, if you want it low fat)
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup low fat mozzarella cheese
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
  2. Slice eggplant in about ¼ inch thick slices.
  3. Place sliced eggplant on large baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray or greased with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and roast in the oven for 7-10minutes to help dry out the eggplant a bit.
  4. Allow eggplant to cool and make your sauce.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan, sauté ground chicken until brown. Pour in marinara sauce. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
  6. Mix together the ricotta (cottage cheese), parmesan, and egg in a medium bowl until well combined.
  7. Then assemble your lasagna. In a large heat safe pan, place a thin layer of sauce on the bottom and distribute evenly. Place a single layer of eggplant on top of the sauce and add ½ of your ricotta (cottage) cheese mixture. Sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Then add another single layer of eggplant, chicken meat sauce, ricotta (cottage cheese) mixture, and mozzarella. Repeat the process creating 3 layers of “Lasagna” in total with the top being a thin layer of sauce with mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake in the oven at 375ºF (190ºC) for 18 - 22 mins until cooked through and cheese is bubbly.
  9. Serve it with a side salad.

    This reminds me of some greek dishes I make using eggplant. Makes for a wonderful tasting dish and sometimes you really don’t even need any meat in the sauce.

    Amazing recipe! I never tried cooking eggplants this way and I am excited to try this recipe myself. I love all the kinds of cheeses you used. That alone is a big plus! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will have to look for those Uncle Steve’s sauces too. I wonder if they have it here in our local stores.

    This looks like a delicious twist to the basic lasagna recipe. The eggplants are a healthy substitute for the pasta. I can’t wait to make this. The Uncle Steve sauces look delicious too. I hope I find them in the store. If I don’t, then I will use your marinara recipe. 🙂

    This looks so good. I love Eggplant Parmesan, and this looks awful close. I have never tried chicken in my red sauce, but I have heard it is very good. I need to give this recipe a try.
