STEP 4: To assemble lasagna, first spread ⅓ of meat mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.  Next, spread a layer of ½ of the chicken breast slices over the meat sauce, followed by a layer of ½ of the ricotta cheese mixture, followed by ⅓ of the mozzarella cheese slices.  Repeat layers–⅓ meat mixture, ½ of the chicken breast slices, ricotta cheese mixture, ⅓ mozzarella slices.  Add remaining meat mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and top with remaining mozzarella cheese slices.

    This recipe is incredible–my husband & kids couldn’t believe there were no actual noodles! It was even better as leftovers (and there were lots of leftovers!)

  4. I was super skeptical about this recipe; it was delicious! Food texture is a big deal for me & my family. This did not disappoint!
