Destined to be a new favorite with all around the table, this zesty take on traditional Italian lasagna is a nod to the Gulf Coast. Increase the amount of Cajun seasoning if you like spicier fare. -Mary Lou Cook, Welches, Oregon

I love that this lasagna uses chicken instead of beef. It's a lighter option, but it's still just as flavorful.

The Cajun seasoning really makes this lasagna special. It's got a nice kick to it, but it's not too spicy.
