Ingredients

10 lasagna noodles
3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1-1/2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
4 cups spaghetti sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
Additional minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with herbs de Provence, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley and remaining salt and pepper. Add chicken.
Drain noodles. Spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Spread 1/3 cup chicken mixture over each noodle; carefully roll up. Place seam side down over sauce. Top with remaining sauce and Parmesan cheese.
Cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover; top with mozzarella cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Top with additional parsley if desired.

Test Kitchen Tips

Common olive oil works better for cooking at high heat than virgin or extra-virgin oil. These higher grades have ideal flavor for cold foods, but they smoke at lower temperatures.

In Europe, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Parmesan are considered the same cheese. But in the U.S., Parmesan is a generic term that may not come from Italy’s Parmigiano-Reggiano region. Using the authentic Italian cheese (in a lesser amount than the original’s ½ cup) ensures a cheesy richness in the makeover with less fat and calories.
