Easy Keto Chicken Broccoli Lasagna

Easy Keto Chicken Broccoli Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis or 2 cups of broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Zucchini or Broccoli: If using zucchini, slice them lengthwise into thin strips. If using broccoli, steam the florets until tender but still firm. This will ensure they hold up well in the layers.
  3. Mix the Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

 

  1. Layer the Ingredients: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of zucchini slices or broccoli florets, followed by half of the shredded chicken. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the chicken, then add another layer of marinara sauce. Repeat this layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of marinara sauce on top.
  2. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top layer of marinara sauce.
  3. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and enjoy!
