When I first pulled it out of the oven, my mom actually looked a little disappointed. It wasn’t the lasagna with ground beef that she was expecting. For a moment, I doubted my decision. I had ruined our dinner I was sure of it. That’s when I cut into the pasta and the amazing aroma came out along with all the ooey gooey cheese. I changed my mind right back to knowing that I had done the right thing. As soon as mom took a bite, her eyes lit right up. There were a few leftovers, and she asked to take them home with her!
Stop being afraid to try something new. This stuff is too good to let it pass you by.
Ingredients
12 lasagna noodles
4 large chicken breasts, diced (approx 5 cups)
6 Tbsp Land O’ Lakes butter or margarine
3/4 c green pepper, chopped
3/4 c onion, chopped
8 oz fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 +/- Tbsp McCormick’s Italian seasoning (approx)
pepper (to taste)
2 can(s) Campbell’s cream of chicken soup
1 1/4 c Parmesan cheese, shredded
16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
15 oz ricotta cheese
2 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
Grease the bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking pan. Preheat oven to 350.
Boil lasagna noodles until they’re about 1/2 way done. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
In a large saucepan, saute diced chicken breast in butter over medium heat. Season with Italian seasoning and pepper.
When chicken is almost done cooking, add in green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Add additional seasoning if desired. Cook until vegetables are tender.
Stir in soup, shredded Parmesan, and Velveeta. Cook until cheese is melted.
Put 4 noodles on the bottom of the greased pan. Layer with 1/3 of the chicken mixture, dot with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, and 1/2 a cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat with another layer of noodles, chicken mixture, ricotta, and 1/2 a cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat for a third, and last, time, but top with all remaining mozzarella cheese (1 cup).
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Let set 5-10 minutes before cutting.
