Cheesy Chicken Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk (not fat-free)
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix
  • 3 cups cubed cooked, chicken
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) lasagna noodles, cooked (I recommend reducing it to 8 oz to 12 oz)
  • 1 1/2-2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 1/2-2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated

Method

  1. Begin by cooking the chicken and lasagna noodles simultaneously. After the noodles are cooked, rinse them under cold water and set them aside to prevent sticking.
  2. In a 3 quart heavy saucepan, mix the evaporated milk with the dry ranch dressing mix. Warm this over low heat, stirring often until the dressing powder is fully incorporated. Add the cubed chicken and pepper to the pan. Allow this mixture to simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Take a well-buttered 9x13 inch baking dish. Place half of the cooked lasagna noodles in the bottom, then top with half of the chicken sauce and half of the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  4. Repeat the layering process with the remaining noodles, sauce, and cheese.
  5. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 350 and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling. Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes before you cut and serve it.
