Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 15 oz ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach (or 10 oz frozen spinach)
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add diced chicken and cook until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with drained spinach, half of the Parmesan, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish. Layer noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, more marinara sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
- Repeat layers with remaining ingredients finishing with noodles topped with marinara and extra mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil during the last 15 minutes for a golden crust.
