Ingredients

  • 10 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (12 oz) tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 Tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, broil chicken 6 in. from the heat until juices run clear; let stand for 15 min or until cool enough to handle. Shred chicken with two forks. Drain noodles; set aside.

  2. In a large nonstick skillet, combine the shredded chicken, tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, basil, ¾ tsp salt, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 min. In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, parsley, pepper and remaining salt.

  3. In a 13-in x 9-in x 2-in baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray, place half of the noodles, overlapping them. Layer with half of the cheese mixture, chicken mixture and mozzarella. Repeat layers.

  4. Cover and bake at 375°F for 25-30 min or until bubbly. Uncover; bake 5 min longer. Let stand 15 min before cutting.
