Time to assemble the lasagna. Spread about 1 cup (250ml) of the sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Lay three noodles (lasagne sheets) on top of the sauce. Spread ⅓ of the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the noodles. Then top with ⅓ of the shredded chicken. Repeat the layers (sauce, noodles, ricotta, chicken) two more times. Finish with the remaining sauce, then top with 1 ½ cups (170g) of shredded mozzarella.

Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for ⏱️ 25 minutes until the cheese is fully melted on top. Switch the oven to broil for the last ⏱️ 3-4 minutes or just until the cheese gets a little brown on top. Watch it closely as it broils!
