How to make Creamy Chicken Lasagna Casserole

This recipe uses Alfredo sauce instead of marinara. Great idea for "Once-A-Month" cooks (I usually make 2 at a time and freeze one). Freezer directions are marked with an asterisk (*). Feeds my family of 5.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 9x9 inch square baking dish
• Lasagna noodles, cooked
• Chicken, cooked and chunked
• Frozen vegetables, your choice
• Your choice of cheese
• 1 jar of Alfredo sauce

1. Preheat oven to 375.
   * Line 9x9 baking dish with aluminum foil leaving enough room of the sides to fold over the top to make a "pouch".

2. Alternate layering the noodles, sauce, vegetables, and chicken in the baking dish.

3. Cook in oven until sauce is bubbling and dish is heated through. Approx. 20-25 min.
   * Fold aluminum foil over and seal. Label with name and date. Leave in the baking dish and put in freezer. About 10-15 minutes it will be frozen enough to remove the dish (the aluminum foil will retain the shape).

4. Sprinkle cheese on top. Serve with a salad and garlic bread.

5. * Cooking directions for frozen casserole: preheat oven to 425. Place aluminum pouch in 9x9 baking dish. Heat in oven for about 15 min. Open pouch and cook for 10-15 min more or until the sauce is bubbling and casserole is heated through. Sprinkle cheese on top. Serve with a salad and garlic bread.

Tips & Warnings

• I have 2 young children and they like it better when I break up the lasagna noodles into small "bite-size" pieces before I cook them.
• For freezer directions: If the pouch is formed and sealed correctly, the baking dish will not get dirty.
