If the extra sauce and noodles don’t pull you, the fact that you can make this easy chicken breast recipe in less than 2 hours should!

FAQ about Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna
You will first start with a little bit of the meat sauce spread on the bottom, Then you will layer it with your noodles and then cheese mixture whether that is ricotta, cottage cheese, or a mixture of the two.
Next will be a larger portion of the meat sauce and then some more cheese for good measure. Then repeat it all again!
Ultimately this will come down to your personal preference. However, when you use just cottage cheese, it will be a bit lighter dish, but still creamy.
With ricotta cheese, the lasagna will be a heavier, creamier, richer overall dish. But, if you ask me that isn’t a bad thing!
So with this recipe, we compromised and did a little bit of both! It is all good and delicious. If you want to know the difference between the two, Greatist goes over the differences between ricotta cheese and cottage cheese that you might find helpful when trying to make your decision.
Every lasagna is going to start by having some of the meat sauce spread on the bottom of the dish to prevent the noodle from becoming crispy instead of tender. Believe me, you do not want crispy noodles in your lasagna

Hello!! I just wanted to say that I am in the middle of making this recipe right now and I cannot wait to eat it!
BUT, I noticed that you mention “meat sauce” in the directions… meat sauce was never listed in the ingredients! Luckily, I have meat sauce… hopefully it’s enough though (24 oz jar). Just wanted to point that out to you! 🙂

Do you use the no boil lasagna noodles or regular ones?
Just regular lasagna noodles! Thanks!
It says uncooked lasagna noodles. Do you not boil them before putting them into the casserole?
No need to boil them first. Just put them in hard.
Could this be done in a slow cooker?
We have never done it in a slow cooker so we don’t know how it would turn out or how you would need to adjust the cooking time.
What brand alfredo sauce do you recommend?
Can this be frozen before cooking?
Can this be frozen before or after cooking? Thanks!
This recipe should be fine to freeze before or after cooking. If you freeze it before cooking, just thaw in the fridge and heat.
How many pounds or cups of chicken is used in this? 3 breasts doesn’t tell me much, I don’t know how big your breasts are, they very in size.
You want about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of shredded chicken.
Omg!!! This recipe is amazing!!!
