Chicken alla Vodka Lasagne

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, I love making food for my family and enjoying a big meal with them. I love sitting around the table and talking about the things we are grateful for. I love the tradition that surrounds Thanksgiving. Making the same meals year after year. Letting the kids help cook dinner. This year Mason wanted to know why we weren’t having Lasagna! I quickly explained–Lasagna isn’t for Thanksgiving! It’s for Christmas.

Growing up I was always really interested in my heritage. My mom’s family is from Puerto Rico. My Dad’s family is a little bit of everything. My dad’s grandmothers came from Italy and Canada. Somewhere down the line we also had family coming from Ireland and Scotland. Along the way we’ve adopted the our Italian roots more than anything. Probably because it was the most recent. So Lasagne is for Christmas. But I have a little boy who’s been begging for it for so Lasagne it is, BEFORE Christmas.

But with a twist.

Traditional Lasagne is for Christmas but Chicken alla vodka Lasagne is for all year long. I’ve been obsessed with my InsantPot lately. It’s not always “instant” but it saves me time because I don’t have to stand over a stove stirring and watching and waiting. Lasagne can be an ordeal. My InstantPot helps to shorten it. Get you one. I made the meal even easier by grabbing everything I needed at Walmart and getting $2 back from Ibotta since I used Barilla sauce and Galbani cheese!

I put together a little video about this meal. A little step by step to show you how it’s done.

This meal is SO worth the effort and it provides plenty of leftovers even if you’re a family of 5 like we are! The kids devoured it. Emi was licking her plate.

If the man of the house has anything to say about it, traditional lasgane on Christmas Eve just got kicked to the curb for Chicken alla vokda Lasgane.
