Notes

• You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken instead of the raw boneless chicken. Just add it during the layering in the assembly instructions.
• We cut it into 4 equal pieces and then stacked 2 of the pieces on top of the 2 other pieces and served the double stacks on two plates.
• Ricotta cheese doesn't melt, only the mozzarella will. If you use ricotta, you will still see the clumps after baking is done. So ricotta falls in the same category as paneer, halloumi, queso blanco and other cheeses that can be heated without melting. This is why ricotta is such a fine choice for lasagna, stuffed shells, ravioli and cheesecake.
