This saucy lasagna is my adaptation of a chicken enchilada recipe. My husband and I enjoy the mild blend of seasonings, cheeses and tender chicken. The dish has become very popular with my co-workers since I shared leftovers one day for lunch. -Cindee Rolston, St. Marys, West Virginia

  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan, will give your lasagna a rich, complex flavor.
