Ingredients
  

Lasagna Ingredients
  • 9-12 sheets Lasagna noodles Depending on dish size
  • 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded Halal-certified if required
  • 2 cups Ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 3 cups Creamy white sauce (or Alfredo sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Assembly
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a layer of creamy white sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking. Layer the noodles over the sauce to form a base.
  2. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with noodles on top and the remaining white sauce covering them.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.
Baking
  1. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  2. Allow the lasagna to sit for about 15-20 minutes before slicing. This helps with serving and enhances the flavors.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for sautéed spinach and mushrooms. Avoid overcooking noodles to ensure they hold up when layered. If storing leftovers, refrigerate for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to three months.
