Description
A delicious and cheesy chicken lasagna recipe that is easy to make and perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
- Layer half of the shredded chicken over the ricotta, followed by a third of the mozzarella cheese and a third of the marinara sauce.
- Repeat the layers: three more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, the remaining chicken, another third of the mozzarella, and another third of the marinara sauce.
- Top with the last three noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, the remaining mozzarella, and the Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for the shredded chicken and use low-fat cheese.
- Add sautéed vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms between the layers for extra flavor and nutrition.
