Roasted Garlic Parmesan Chicken Lasagna

I make lasagna quite a bit for my family. Mainly because its easy and I can freeze it if I want, which I'm all for.  My kids will eat it and so will the hubs without complaint, but let me tell ya'll a secret............I'm not a big fan of classic lasagna.  Or any pasta that has red sauce for that matter, sorry I'm not sorry, I've just never really liked it.
Now pasta with white sauce and chicken, I am alllllll over that situation. So of course wouldn't know while I was cruising pinterest I came across a lasagna recipe with white sauce and chicken, so I took a look at it, made my own modifications to it and now I'm bringing it to ya'll.  I hope you guys enjoy it.




Roasted Garlic Parmesan Chicken Lasagna


Ingredients
2 lbs Ground chicken
2 Jars white pasta sauce( I used Prego)
Lasagna noodles (I used oven ready noodles)
15 oz Ricotta cheese
1 Tbs Italian seasoning
1 Egg
1-2 tsp Minced garlic
2 cups Asiago cheese, shredded
2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and Pepper to taste


Directions


Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Brown chicken in a large skillet, add salt and pepper to taste if you like and add the minced garlic and let it all cook together.


When the chicken is almost browned mix together the Ricotta cheese, Egg and Italian seasoning and set it aside.



Once the Chicken is browned add the white pasta sauce to the chicken, enough to coat it.

.


After that, add all your cheeses to a bowl and mix them together.


In a greased 9x13 Lasagna pan or whatever pan you like, add a layer of white pasta sauce to the bottom of the pan.  Then add a layer of noodles, add about 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and cover noodles with it, add 1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 white sauce and top with 1/4 of the cheese mixture.
Repeat: Pasta, ricotta cheese mixture, ground chicken, white sauce and cheese. Should be able to get 3 layers.
On top of last layer cover with the rest of the cheese.
I baked mine for 35 minutes, checked it and baked it for another 15 mins.  That was using oven ready lasagna noodles.  (If you use regular noodles and cook them before assembling lasagna you will only need to cook lasagna for about 30 mins).







Allow to cool 10-15 minutes, and then dig in!!!!

*If you would like to make and freeze this, you should be able too. To cook after you freeze it, Let it thaw over night and bake at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour, checking it so it does not burn.
