Ingredients

  • 12 uncooked lasagna noodles (12 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 3/4 cup chopped onions (1 1/2 medium)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 cans (10 3/4 oz each) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 container (12 oz) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 3 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain noodles as directed on package.

    Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook bell pepper and onions in butter, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender; remove from heat. Stir in milk, soup, basil and pepper.
  • 3
    Place 4 noodles in baking dish. Top with about 1 cup of the soup mixture, half of the cottage cheese, 1 1/2 cups of the chicken, 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup Cheddar cheese. Repeat layers once, starting with noodles. Place remaining 4 noodles over top. Top with remaining soup mixture, mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.
  • 4
    Bake uncovered 50 to 55 minutes or until bubbly and hot in center. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.

  • Ricotta cheese can be substituted for the cottage cheese.
  • If you don't want to cook chicken for this recipe, your supermarket offers these options: deli roasted chicken, frozen diced precooked chicken and canned chicken breast chunks.
