Chicken Caesar Lasagna

Brian and I tried a new recipe and it was okay. Not Brian's cup of tea but I liked it. It wasn't really quick but it was easy. I am posting it because if Brian liked Alfredo sauces as much as I do we would probably make this a lot more often.

Chicken Caesar Lasagna



Ingredients:

-9 dried whole wheat or regular lasagna noodles (we used oven ready but boiled them anyway and it worked fine)
-2 10 oz containers of refrigerated light Alfredo sauce (we used 2 15 oz jars, non refrigerated, regularr Alfredo I dont think it made a difference)
-3 tablespoons lemon juice
-1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
-3 cups chopped cooked, chicken breast (I would use more chicken next time)
-1 10oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
-1 cup bottled roasted red sweet peppers, drained and chopped, (we used the whole jar)
Non stick cooking spray
-1/4 cup shredded italian blend cheeses (we used the whole two cup bag, we like cheese)

Directions:

1) Cook the noodles according to package directions and drain
2) Rinse noodles with cold water, drain again
3) Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine Alfredo sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper
4) Stir in chicken, spinach, and roasted peppers
5) Lightly coat a 3 quart rectangular baking dish with cooking spray
6) Arrange three cooked noodles in bottom of dish
7) Top with 1/3rd mixture
8) Repeat layers of noodles and chicken mixture twice
9) Cover and bake at 325 for 45-55 minutes or until heated through
10) Uncover, sprinkle with cheese and bake uncovered for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly
11) Let stand 15 minutes before serving

Prep: 35 minutes, Bake: 50 minutes, Stand: 15 minutes
