Delicious Zucchini Lasagna

This is the yummiest lasagna recipe EVER! I try to cook this at least once a week, my husband loves it! The recipe is originally from skinnytaste.com but I have done some tweaking to it. Hope you like it =)

You will need:

1 lb ground chicken breast
1/2 onion
garlic salt
salt and pepper
2 jars of marinara sauce
28 oz can diced tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
4 medium zucchini, sliced thin
15 oz part skim ricotta
16 oz part skim shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 large egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cook meat and season with garlic salt.  When cooked, add olive oil and onion.  Cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Add tomatoes, basil, pepper and 1 jar of marinara sauce.  Cover and simmer on low for 30 minutes.

Slice zucchini into thin slices.  Cover lightly in salt and set aside for about 10 minutes - the salt draws out the excess water in the zucchini.  After 10 minutes, blot excess water with paper towels, then place zuchinni on grill (I use my George Foreman - the best thing ever!) Grill for about 3 minutes (flip halfway through.)

In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, parmesan and egg.  Stir well.

In a 9x12 casserole dish, spread meat sauce on bottom and cover with zucchini, then pour on some ricotta mixture and then top with mozzarella and repeat once more.  Top with extra marinara sauce and mozzarella and cover with foil.

Bake 45 minutes covered, then uncovered another 15 minutes.  Let stand 10 minutes.
   

Enjoy!
