Blue Ribbon Recipe
Warm, cheesy goodness! This 4 cheese chicken lasagna is a fantastic twist on lasagna. It's creamy, cheesy, and filled with chunks of chicken and fresh mushrooms. Onions and bell peppers are a nice base for flavor. Velvetta cheese makes the filling creamy and gooey. It does take a little time to make this, but it's not hard. Delicious with a salad and garlic knot. Great recipe for the weekend when there's a bit more prep time. A great alternative for someone who loves Italian food but doesn't care for a red sauce.
