CREAMY CHICKEN LASAGNA - OAMC
My dh can only eat chicken and turkey. All beef makes him ill, he isn't overly fond of fish. Other meats... well suffice it to say he won't touch. So in viewing my recipes you'll see a plethera of chicken recipes. I'm always striving to find something new. He has 3 response levels to new recipe's 1. I didn't like that (insert reason) 2. He doesn't say anything, when asked ... oh oh it was fine (or good) 3. OMG that was so great, and he eats it like there is no tomorrow. This got a thumbs up from one of the pickiest eaters i've ever met. This is adapted for my OAMC needs. It's a little time consuming but definitely worth the work.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cook chicken breasts and cut into small cubes (less than 1/2 inch).
- Cook noodles in boiling water until almost done, Drain and rinse in cold water, Lay flat on baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap while you make sauce.
- Cook onion in butter in large pan for about 2 minutes or until softened.
- Add flour and stir over low heat for another minute.
- Stir in dried herbs and chicken.
- Slowly add stock and milk or cream, Boil for about 1 minute.
- Add carrots and broccoli, cook for 5 minutes.
- Salt,pepper and add crushed red pepper to taste.
- Spray 2 13x10 inch baking pans with no stick spray.
- Put enough sauce in the bottom of the pans to just cover.
- Start assembling, 1/4 noodles, 1/4 sauce, 1/4 cheese making 2 layers. Add a little basil and crushed red pepper to the top for looks if desired.
- Cover with foil and bake until bubbling (about 40 minutes).
- Uncover and brown for about 5 minutes to brown top slightly.
- Let stand about 20 minutes before cutting and placing in containers to freeze.
- After reading the comments I tried some things. The egg noodles as well as penne pasta worked really well. The type of pasta I used determined the amount of sauce that was left obviously. Just experiment to see what works for you. Using egg noodles or penne seriously cuts the time on this way back. Using frozen carrot/broccoli blends works great too, to cut back on time. Both of those alterations didn't change much, though the frozen veggies changed a little bit of the "fresh" taste in my opinion. If you're doing a day long OAMC marathon, these minor changes might make a big difference. As for the sauce, I think the elevation and dryness of the flour affect the sauce, so does oven temperature Like one reviewer said the sauce thickens as it stands.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful lasagna. A combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a classic choice. You can also add ricotta cheese or cream cheese for a richer flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality salsa. The salsa is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a brand that you enjoy. A homemade salsa is also a great option.
- Don't skimp on the spices. The spices in this recipe are what give it its southwest flavor. Be sure to use a generous amount of chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. Letting the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving will make it easier to slice and serve.

Southwest chicken lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck.
