No-Boil-The-Noodles Cheesy Chicken Lasagna image

This comes from my twin sister Julie. People always ask for the recipe when this dish is served, and it makes a great lunch the next day too. Hope you like it as much as our family does--and thanks, Julie, for giving me this recipe in the first place! (This is my very first recipe I've posted, so reviewers please be kind!)

Number Of Ingredients 11

15 -18 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 chicken, cooked, deboned, and cut up
1/3-1/2 cup chicken broth
1 (16 ounce) carton sour cream
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (22 ounce) carton cottage cheese
12 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
4 ounces grated colby-monterey jack cheese or 4 ounces colby cheese

  • Spray cooking oil spray into bottom of deep lasagna pan.
  • Pour all of the chicken broth into the lasagna pan.
  • Place 5-6 uncooked lasagna noodles on bottom of lasagna pan (in the chicken broth), making sure they lie flat (even if you have to break off the corners of the noodles).
  • Spread 1/3 of the sour cream/soup/cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.
  • Sprinkle 1/3 cooked cubed chicken and mushrooms (and spinach if using) over noodles, followed by 1 cup grated mozzarella.
  • Repeat layers so you end up with 3 layers, gently pushing each layer down to pack it in and to lie as flat as possible.

  • Cover dish with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 60 minutes.
  • Uncover dish and bake an additional 10 minutes to lightly brown the top layer of cheese.
  • Let dish stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
