Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken About 1.5 pounds raw chicken.
  • 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the chicken and ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with a layer of marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat the layers: noodles, chicken and ricotta mixture, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Finish with a final layer of noodles and the remaining marinara sauce on top. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure it doesn’t touch the cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the layers hold together when serving.
