Ingredients

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 3/4 lb grass-fed ground beef
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups no-sugar marinara sauce
  • 16 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • About 8 oz thinly sliced deli chicken breast (16 slices)
  • 12 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. In a Dutch oven, cook the sausage, ground beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in the marinara.
  3. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, egg and salt.
  4. Spread 1 1/2 cups meat sauce in a 9x13 baking dish. Layer chicken slices over it, then half the ricotta mixture and a third of the mozzarella.

  7. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
