Tips and Variations
This is an extremely versatile recipe that works well with many different ingredients.
- Grilling adds a lot of flavor to the chicken but you can use any type of cooked, boneless chicken in this recipe.
- You can substitute shrimp, crab, lobster or scallops for the chicken in this recipe.
- Add broccoli in place of the spinach.
- Use rigatoni, wide egg noodles or corkscrew pasta instead of the lasagna noodles.
- Saute chopped bell peppers with the onions and mushrooms.
- For a prettier presentation you can cook the lasagna noodles and then cut them in even pieces.
- Freeze leftovers in silicone cupcake molds. Once frozen, you can remove the molds and put the individual portions in a freezer container. When you need a quick meal, take out as many portions as you need and heat in the microwave.
