Hi Everyone! Happy Thursday to you!

This is a recipe that I started making about 10 years ago. I found it to be a good way to use up leftover turkey after the holidays. I've also added chopped up celery to the cheese layer for an extra little crunch. Enjoy!

Chicken Lasagna

This is an excellent way to use up leftover chicken.

Soup Mixture

2 cans cream soup
1 can mushrooms
1 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper
poultry seasoning and garlic to taste
fresh herbs can also be used

Combine together, heat through.

Cheese Mixture

8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. cottage cheese
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped celery
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic

Mix together.

10-12 lasagna noodles, cooked, ready to use or fresh
4 cups cooked chicken, finely chopped

Mix 1/2 the soup mixture with the meat.

Topping

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese or

1/2 cup melted butter
1-1/2 cups bread crumbs

Mix together slowly.

Preheat oven to 375*
Layer by starting with 1/2 the soup mixture, noodles, meat mixture, noodles, cheese, noodles remaining 1/2 soup then topping.

Cook uncovered for 30 min.

Tips to Ponder
When using fresh lasagna noodles, it isn't necessary to boil them.

I have used cream of mushroom + cream of chicken with great success. I have also used cream of celery + cream of chicken.
