I've never heard of chicken lasagna, sounds revolting. Make it with beef, the Italian way and let it cook for about an hour and a half, at least.


The secret of a really tasty lasagna is long slow cooking.
Leave the chicken out. It will taste better !
just use ground turkey instead of chicken of beef
i dunno. try foodnetwork.com they have tons of stuff
