Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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).
  • tip 2
    You can make this recipe up to 24 hours ahead of time. Assemble the lasagna, cover tightly with foil and refrigerate. Bake as directed.
