CHICKEN CHILI LASAGNA
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.
- Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of the lasagna together. Use a generous amount of sauce, and make sure it is flavorful and well-seasoned.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
