Ingredients

3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped and drained

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, artichokes, 1 cup mozzarella, grated parmesan, ½ the basil and tomatoes. Set aside.
In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, ½ and ½ and garlic until well combined. Using a spoon, stir in half the basil. Set half of the cream cheese mixture aside and stir the remaining half in with the chicken mixture.
Take half of the cream cheese mixture (without the chicken) and spread it into a 9x13 baking dish, covering the bottom. Lay 3 noodles on top and then top with ⅓ of the chicken mixture. Repeat the noodles and chicken mixture two more times, ending with a noodle layer.
Top with the last half of the cream cheese mixture.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over everything, and then top with more basil if desired.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh basil, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.
If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give you a more intense flavor.
You can use any type of pasta for this recipe. However, lasagna noodles are the traditional choice.
Be sure to cook the lasagna noodles al dente. This means that they should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy.
Use a good quality marinara sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the lasagna.
Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.

Chicken caprese lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and it is also a great dish to freeze for later. If you are looking for a new and exciting lasagna recipe, then you should definitely try this one.
