  1. I have made this twice now and it has turned out great each time - especially if your family likes mexican flavor! I used canned chicken and no-boil lasagna noodles. The second time I made this, my husband asked me to increase the cheese a bit so I used 6 cups of mexican blend shredded cheese. I also used orange and yellow sweet peppers instead of red / green and that worked well too.
     
  2. This was very filling and pretty tasty; one pan fed 3 people well for two meals. I made only one pan of the lasagna, as that's all the chicken I had. I was missing the green chilis, but substituted some queso blanco with jalapenos for some of the cottage cheese to give it some kick. I didn't bother to cook the noodles first, just added a bit extra water to the sauce and they came out fine.
