This saucy lasagna is my adaptation of a chicken enchilada recipe. My husband and I enjoy the mild blend of seasonings, cheeses and tender chicken. The dish has become very popular with my co-workers since I shared leftovers one day for lunch. —Cindee Rolston, St. Marys, West Virginia

  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 3 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
