CREAMY CHICKEN LASAGNA


CREAMY CHICKEN LASAGNA
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 cube chicken stock
1/4 cup hot water
230 g package cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar pasta sauce

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Meanwhile, place the chicken in a saucepan with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
Remove from saucepan, and shred.
Preheat oven to 175 degrees C.
Dissolve the stock cube in hot water.
In a large bowl, mix the chicken with the stock, cream cheese, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Spread 1/3 of pasta sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Cover with the chicken mixture, and top with 3 lasagna noodles, repeat.
Top with remaining sauce, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven.
