- Arrange a single layer of no-boil lasagna noodles over the chicken mixture.
- Spread another layer of the chicken mixture on top of the noodles.
- Add a second layer of noodles and top the dish with the remaining chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheese evenly across the top.
Bake
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the dish is heated through.
Rest and Garnish
- Remove the lasagna from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes to set before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, pico de gallo, and jalapeño slices, if desired.
