Equipment

  • saucepan
  • mixing bowl
  • Baking Dish (9x13)
  • foil

Ingredients
  

Tomato Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 1.5 cups whole milk ricotta
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella

Other

  • 9-12 sheets gluten-free lasagna noodles cooked al dente
  • fresh basil leaves for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté the onion in olive oil until soft. Add garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute. Pour in crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  • In a bowl, combine ricotta, egg, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. Stir in the shredded chicken.
  • Cook gluten-free lasagna sheets according to package instructions. Rinse under cold water and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a 9x13 baking dish, spoon a layer of sauce, then a layer of noodles, followed by half the chicken-ricotta filling, then mozzarella. Repeat layers and end with sauce and mozzarella on top.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Let sit 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time. Slightly undercook your gluten-free noodles to prevent mushiness during baking. Let the lasagna rest before slicing so it holds together.
