Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown (6-7 minutes per side).
- Remove chicken from heat to rest before shredding it with two forks. Mix the shredded chicken with marinara sauce.
