Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 9 lasagna noodles (traditional or no-boil)
- 15 oz ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- 2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let it cool slightly before shredding.
- 3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about one minute. Add marinara sauce and oregano; simmer for five minutes.
- 4. Spread a layer of sauce in the baking dish, then layer three lasagna noodles on top. Add half of the shredded chicken, half of the ricotta cheese, and more sauce. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with noodles topped with remaining sauce.
- 5. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan on top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes; then remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- 6. Allow to cool for ten minutes before slicing.
