📝 Preparation Steps
1
1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.2 Thinly slice the zucchini to about 1/8 inch thick. Lay the zucchini flat on a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle with salt. Let site ⏱️ 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry with a towel. Try and get as much water out of the zucchini as possible. 3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken and brown all over, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the bell pepper, oregano, thyme, and a pinch each of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the marinara sauce, then remove from the heat. 4. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, provolone, and egg. 5. To assemble, spread 1/2 cup of sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Layer over the zucchini, then dollop over 1/2 cup of the ricotta cheese, and top with about 1/2 cup mozzarella. Repeat the layering until all ingredients have been used...don't stress about making it look perfect. Top with mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake ⏱️ 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake another ⏱️ 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. 6. Meanwhile, make the breadcrumbs. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil, the breadcrumbs, and oregano over medium heat. Cook, until the breadcrumbs are toasted all over and the oregano is fried, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Season with salt.7. Let the lasagna sit ⏱️ 10-15 minutes before serving. Top with breadcrumbs and fresh basil.
