How to Make Chicken Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. While noodles cook, broil 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts 6 inches from the heat, until juices run clear (about 8-10 minutes per side).
  4. Let chicken rest for 15 minutes, then shred with two forks.
  5. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
  6. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Add one 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, one 6-ounce can tomato paste, 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 1 teaspoon dried basil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder.
  8. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. In a medium bowl, combine 15 ounces cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  10. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  11. Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
  12. Layer half of the noodles, overlapping if necessary.
  13. Top with half of the cheese mixture, then half of the chicken mixture, and half of a 15-ounce container of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  14. Repeat layers.
  15. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  16. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly.
  17. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
  18. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
