Ingredients
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup ricotta cheese
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon dried basil or 1 teaspoon fresh, chopped basil leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 no boil lasagna noodles
- 1 cup diced cooked chicken meat
- 1 cup chopped frozen broccoli
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, the ricotta cheese, mayonnaise, cream, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread one-quarter of the mixture onto the bottom of a 1-quart rectangular casserole dish.
- Cover with 2 lasagna noodles, then one-quarter of the ricotta cheese mixture, then half of the chicken and broccoli, and then 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Repeat the layers.
- Top with the remaining ricotta cheese mixture. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 to 12 minutes more, or until golden brown and bubbly. Cool slightly then cut into 4 equal-size pieces.
Notes
Pre-shredded cheese usually has anticaking ingredients that contain starch, so it’s always best to shred your own.
Sliced mozzarella can be cut up and used instead of pre-shredded cheese.
Make sure to thaw and squeeze excess water from frozen broccoli to prevent a watery lasagna.
Lightly grease your baking dish to ensure the lasagna layers don’t stick.
Spread each layer evenly to ensure all parts cook consistently.
Broil the mozzarella topping for a few minutes to achieve a golden, bubbly finish.
