As a girl, I spent summers on my grandparents' farm and helped harvest bushels of fresh vegetables. To this day, I enjoy making recipes like this lasagna, laden with juicy tomatoes and herbs fresh from my own garden.

I did have a few problems making this recipe, but would make it again because my husband loved it and it is a nice way to use leftover chicken. To me, the sauce never did thicken and was far too thin to use as a filling with the chicken added to it. I placed the required amounts of sauce in the baking pan and reserved for the top. But in order to get the rest of it anywhere near thick enough to use as a filling, I had to add at least 3 more tablespoons of cornstarch.

Another thing I did differently was to use uncooked lasagna noodles and bake it for 1 hour 15 minutes, covered with foil, then let stand 15 more minutes before cutting. I hate cooking lasagna noodles and this worked out well. I am trying to avoid wheat so I used the rice lasagna noodles and they worked fine.

Deliciously different. I use regular-sized tomatoes, thinly sliced, and mozzarella cheese.
