Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven & Prep Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
2. Prepare Chicken & Broccoli Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli florets, and half of the marinara sauce. Mix well to ensure everything is coated, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. First Layer: Spread a thin layer of the remaining marinara sauce onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place three no-boil lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, arranging them to cover the bottom.
4. First Filling Layer: Spread 1/3 of the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly over the lasagna noodles. Top with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, spreading it out in dollops. Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
5. Repeat Layering: Repeat the layering process two more times:
   • Place three more no-boil lasagna noodles.
   • Spread 1/3 of the chicken and broccoli mixture.
   • Top with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese.
   • Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
   • Add the final three no-boil lasagna noodles.
   • Spread the last 1/3 of the chicken and broccoli mixture.
   • Top with the last 1/3 of the ricotta cheese.
   • Finish with the remaining 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
6. Bake (Covered & Uncovered): Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden, and the noodles are cooked through and tender.
7. Rest & Serve: Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the layers to set, making it easier to cut.
