Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (from a rotisserie chicken or leftovers)

• 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped

• 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce

• 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 9 no-boil lasagna noodles

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Step 1:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, and half of the marinara sauce.

• Mix well, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3:

• Spread a thin layer of the remaining marinara sauce onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

• Place three no-boil lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.

Step 4:

• Spread 1/3 of the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly over the lasagna noodles.

• Top with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, spreading it out in dollops.

• Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.

Step 5:

• Repeat the layering process with the lasagna noodles, chicken and broccoli mixture, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese two more times, ending with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 6:

• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

• After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the noodles are cooked through.

Step 7:

• Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes:

• Saving Energy: Using no-boil lasagna noodles reduces cooking time and eliminates the need to boil the noodles, making the process more energy-efficient.

• Health Benefits: This lasagna incorporates lean protein from the chicken and vitamins and fiber from the broccoli. While it is rich due to the cheeses, it provides a balanced meal with protein and vegetables. You can make it lighter by using part-skim cheese or adding more veggies. Enjoy in moderation!
