Prepare ingredients
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dice onion, shred mozzarella, chop herbs, mince garlic.

Zucchini noodles
2

Thinly slice zucchini lengthwise. I used a mandolin, a vegetable peeler can work but may be on the thinner side. Place zucchini on paper towel and lightly salt. This will get rid of extra moisture.

Meat Sauce
3

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft/translucent about 5 minutes. Add herbs, garlic and ground chicken. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked most of the way through, about 5 minutes.

Add tomato sauce and paste stir to combine and cook over medium heat for an additional 5 minutes.

Ricotta Filling
4

Mix ricotta, egg, parsley, basil, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.

Cheese mix
5

In a separate bowl mix shredded mozzarella and parmesan.

Build Lasagna
6

Spoon a small amount of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Layer zucchini strips in a single layer.

7

Using half of the ricotta mixture, spread over the zucchini strips.

8

Using half of the meat sauce, spread over the ricotta mixture.

9

Top the meat sauce layer with a third of the shredded mozzarella and parmesan.

10

Repeat layers one time.

Finishing up
11

Apply one last layer of zucchini.

12

Take remaining 1/3 of cheese mix and top lasagna. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Bake

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. The top layer of cheese should be golden and bubbly.
