Pressure Cooker Chicken Lasagne

kiwidutch's Note:

This recipe uses my Pressure Cooker Chicken Fillets, Basis for Savory Pies Etc "Pressure Cooker Chicken Fillets, Basis for Savory Pies Etc" up to Step 9 as a basis for preparing the chicken. That means that you have before you a heap of yummy chicken, stock and mushy herby veggies and can now make your lasagna... This recipe contains no cans of "cream of..." soups, or milk or cream in the sauce and is one that whips up in next to no time because most of the work has been done while in the preparation of the chicken stage. No boil lasagne noodles here in The Netherlands come in (dry weight) packets of 250g (8.8 oz) and there are 30 small sheets to a package.. I use about 80% of a packet to make this. ZWT REGION: Italy.

It's chicken noodle casserole. I like that you cook the lot all together in the pressure cooker and then have just a few things additional to assemble. But I think if I was going to make this again I might experiment with some different seasoning and possibly consider some other kind of sauce.
