Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- If using regular lasagna noodles, boil them until al dente, drain, and lay flat to prevent sticking.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Drain any excess fat.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta, egg, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little extra Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer (about 1/2 cup) of marinara on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer three cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spoon and spread about one-third of the cooked chicken, then dollop and gently spread one-third of the ricotta mixture. Spoon more marinara over the top. Repeat twice to make three layers, ending with noodles.
- Pour remaining marinara over the top layer and sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna chicken rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
