Ingredients

3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
1 can (14-ounce) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped, divided
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped and drained, divided
12 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened (1½ bricks)
1 cup half-and-half
1 tsp minced garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 ounces cooked lasagna noodles (1 box)
12 slices whole milk mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Prepare Chicken Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, artichokes, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, half of the basil, and half of the sun-dried tomatoes. Set aside.
Make the Cream Cheese Sauce:
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese, half-and-half, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stir in the remaining basil.
Set aside half of this mixture. Stir the remaining half into the chicken mixture.
Assemble the Lasagna:
Spread half of the reserved cream cheese mixture over the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer 3 cooked lasagna noodles on top.
Spread ⅓ of the chicken mixture over the noodles.
Repeat layers twice, ending with a noodle layer.
Add Final Layers:
Spread the remaining plain cream cheese mixture on top.
Arrange the mozzarella slices over the lasagna.
Sprinkle with the remaining shredded mozzarella and extra basil if desired.
Bake: Place the lasagna in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Rest & Serve: Let the lasagna cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
