Instructions

Repeat the layers with 4 more noodles, the remaining chicken mixture, and another layer of the ricotta mixture. Top with the final 4 noodles and the last of the marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
