Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and cook thinly sliced chicken breasts until they are browned and fully cooked.
  3. Add zucchini and bell peppers, cook until they’re slightly tender.
  4. Stir in the spinach until wilted.
  5. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried basil.
  6. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce.
  7. Layer 3 lasagne sheets over the sauce.
  8. Spread half of the chicken and vegetable mixture over the sheets.
  9. Dollop half of the ricotta cheese and sprinkle one-third of the mozzarella.
  10. Add another layer of lasagne sheets, chicken and vegetable mixture, ricotta, and mozzarella.
  11. Lay down the last 3 lasagne sheets, pour the remaining tomato sauce, and top with the last portion of mozzarella.
  12. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  13. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  14. Let the lasagne sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

1. For a crispier top, place the lasagne under a broiler for 2-3 minutes after baking.
2. Make sure to let the lasagne sit after baking; it helps in setting the layers.
3. Using fresh herbs like basil or oregano can elevate the taste.
