Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 lasagna noodles, cooked
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a standard muffin pan very well so the lasagna cups release easily after baking.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cottage cheese, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper until creamy and evenly combined.
  3. Cut the cooked lasagna noodles into strips if needed and press them into the muffin cups to create noodle shells along the bottom and sides.
  4. Brush the exposed noodle edges lightly with olive oil so they bake up golden and slightly crisp.
  5. Spoon a little marinara sauce into each noodle cup, add the chicken filling, then top with a little more marinara and the remaining mozzarella.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
  7. Let the lasagna cups rest for 5 minutes before gently lifting them out of the pan and serving.

Notes

  • Cook the lasagna noodles just until al dente so they hold their shape in the muffin pan.
  • Grease the muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and help the cups release cleanly.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut that makes prep even easier.
  • Let the cups rest before removing them so the filling sets and stays together.
  • These lasagna cups reheat well and are great for meal prep lunches or easy leftover dinners.
