How to Make Chicken Lasagna:

- Finish the top layer with a generous amount of cheese;
- Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley, oregano, or olives;

Suggestions and Tips:
Feel free to customize this with your favorite cheeses, or swap the ham for turkey breast, heart of palm, or finish with grated Parmesan on top. You can use standard lasagna noodles or oven-ready/no-boil noodles. If you’re looking for alternatives, you can swap the noodles for thinly sliced eggplant, zucchini, or even potatoes. For an even better flavor, use a homemade marinara sauce—it makes a huge difference! This lasagna pairs perfectly with a side of steamed white rice, a crisp green salad, and a glass of white wine.
