Description
A comforting and indulgent dish that combines the classic flavors of chicken parmesan with the heartiness of lasagna, perfect for families and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2-3 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
- 1 jar of marinara sauce
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- Fresh basil for garnish
- Olive oil, garlic, and seasonings to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a pan, sauté garlic in olive oil, add the marinara sauce, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes while mixing in herbs and spices for extra flavor.
- Boil water in a large pot, add lasagna noodles, and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
- In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce at the bottom. Layer noodles, then spread a portion of the ricotta mixture, followed by shredded chicken, more sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with noodles and sauce on top.
- Top the final layer with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure your noodles are al dente; they will soften more while baking. Don’t skimp on the seasoning for a flavorful dish.
