Introduction
I was bored in the kitchen and realized I had thawed chicken I needed to cook. I decided to get skippy and try making a different kind of lasagna. I may have used too much cheese! Feedback is appreciated. I was bored in the kitchen and realized I had thawed chicken I needed to cook. I decided to get skippy and try making a different kind of lasagna.

Ingredients
-
For the noodles:
8 oz Lasagna Noodles
For the sauce:
(2) 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
1/4 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Seasoning to taste
For the Yummy part:
1 pound Chicken, no skin (breast hammered thin or filet)
8oz lowfat mozzarella
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 large fresh egg
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
8oz lowfat mozzarella set aside
Need:
Pot big enough to make lasagna noodles
Food processor
Plenty of bowls and spoons
Directions
First things first - prep your pan to make the noodles. It takes a while to get a huge pot of water to a rolling boil.
Sauce:
2 28oz cans crushed tomatos
1/4 cup Light Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Seasoning to tase (I use basil, oregano, thyme, majoram and garlic)
Mix together the crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup EVOO and season to taste (I use basil, oregano, thyme, majoram and garlic). Let sit for at least 20 minutes.
Yummy part:
Mix cheeses (except for the 8oz of mozzarella set aside), breadcrumbs and egg together. Set aside.
Heat the 1 tablespoon EVOO over medium/high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken.
Once seared, drop chicken food processor and pulse/shread the chicken. (It looks a lot like tuna this point)
Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature. (DO NOT SPEED THIS UP BY PUTTING IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET REALLY SICK).
Mix shredded chicken in with cheese/breadcrumb/egg mixture. (I find it easiest to just use my hands)
Hopefully by now your water is boiling. Cook your noodles according to the package.
---
Once noodles are prepared it's time to put the lasagna together.
First layer is of sauce
Second layer is noodles
Third layer is Chicken/Cheese/Breadcrumbs mixture
Fourth layer is sauce
Fifth layer is noodles
etc etc
your last layer should be a goodly amount of sauce followed by the remaining 8oz of lowfat mozzarella cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes
-----
With what is listed above - I had 3 layers of goodness in a 9X13 glass pan when I ran out of sauce. I'd approximate 12 servings, if not more. The sauce is a bit sweet.
