Lasagna is simple to make once all the ingredients are ready to go. The first step is to prepare all of your ingredients. For this lasagna, that includes steaming broccoli, chopping cooked chicken, cooking the pasta and seasoning the ricotta cheese. Once everything is ready all that needs to be done is to layer the ingredients as listed in the recipe below.

For this recipe, I precooked my chicken in a crock pot on high for four hours. I like to do this every once in a while and will make enough for a few recipes at a time to cut down on my cooking and prep time later.

This recipe can be made ahead of time and then stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake it whether that is in an hour or in a day or two! Simply cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Add a few extra minutes to the bake time to ensure it is heated thoroughly.

The lasagna will also stay good in the refrigerator for about a week making it perfect to have as leftovers for lunch or dinner.

Let’s get to the recipe.
