Ingredients
  

For the Lasagna:
  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (we used rotisserie)
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil (divided)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped, drained, and divided)
  • 12 oz low-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • to taste freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 oz cooked lasagna noodles (1 box)
  • 12 slices whole milk mozzarella cheese

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking this scrumptious lasagna.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese, half-and-half, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth and creamy. This will form the base of your sauce.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken, chopped artichoke hearts, half of the sun-dried tomatoes, half of the chopped basil, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. This mixture will be rich and flavorful!
  4. In your greased 9x13 inch baking dish, start layering. Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles at the bottom. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken and cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of noodles topped with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (to prevent sticking, you can spray the foil with cooking spray) and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Once done, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps it set, making it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
  • You can prepare the lasagna ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking. Just increase the baking time by about 10-15 minutes if baking from cold.
  • Experiment with different cheeses, such as provolone or fontina, for a unique twist on the traditional flavor.
  • Serve this dish with a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
