Chicken Lasagna

8 oz. lasagna noodles
3 cups cooked chicken
1-1/2 cups cottage cheese
2 cups cheddar cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Sauce:
1/2 cup onion
1/2 green pepper
3 TBLSP margarine
1 cup mushrooms (opt.)
2 cups cream of chicken
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. basil

Saute onions and pepper in margarine. Add all other sauce ingredients. In 9x13" pan begin with sauce then layer cooked lasagna noodles, cheeses, chicken, and more sauce. Repeat layers. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.


When I made this I doubled the recipe and put it into 4 8x8" freezer pans. In order to make the noodles fit well into an 8x8 I had to cut one length-wise and lay as shown in picture above. Also, this meal has a lot of cheese in it. Don't be shy about cutting back on some of that if you prefer to save a little money in that area. This is one of our favorite casseroles here. Thanks, Kate and DeMotte Gems, for this recipe!
