Expert Tips

Leftover chicken breasts would be great to use in this recipe. Slice the chicken into strips, then sprinkle with a dash of ground red pepper (cayenne).

You can make this recipe up to 24 hours ahead of time. Assemble the lasagna, cover tightly with foil and refrigerate. Bake as directed.

absolutely delicious! i made a change or two. instead of southwest chicken i used the oven roasted and seasoned myself salt pepper and cumin, minced onion and garlic. i used santa fe salsa with corn tomatoes and beans. has a little kick to it. i still added black beans as instructed. my family loved! and it was ready in no time! and we had texas toast on the side.
