3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs) Cook until golden brown.
15 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
15 oz whole-milk ricotta cheese

2 tbsp olive oil For sautéing chicken.
to taste Salt
to taste Pepper

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add diced chicken and minced garlic; sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with chopped basil, salt, and pepper until creamy.

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer noodles over the sauce followed by half of the ricotta mixture and half of the sautéed chicken.
Repeat until all ingredients are used up; finish with marinara and mozzarella on top.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing; garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before layering, and allow the lasagna to rest before slicing.
