Chicken Lasagna is nothing short of outstanding. It includes layers of chicken, a vegetable blend of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, a creamy sauce made with cream of chicken soup and it's topped with a Taco Cheese Blend to give it additional cheesy goodness. This is a terrific pasta entree for company or family dinners. Everyone loves this fantastic vintage recipe.

Notes
NOTE: I cooked 12 noodles in case of breakage. I used 9.NOTE: Nancy boils 2 or 3 chicken breasts and then cuts the meat into chunks. NOTE: I used pre-purchased shredded chicken. You can also use rotisserie chicken and shred it for this recipe.NOTE:This dish needs a deep dish 4-inch side baking dish in order to fit all the ingredients. A regular 9x13" pyrex glass baking dish won't work.NOTE: If you are unable to find the family size of cream of chicken soup, use 2 1/2 cans of the regular size cream of chicken soup.NOTE: I cooked the vegetables in their bags in the microwave--about 5 minutes for every 12-ounce bag.
