Pesto Chicken Lasagna
Pesto really perks up this scrumptious chicken lasagna. Plus, the marinara sauce adds a touch of sweetness. Serve it with warm bread and impress your friends.

This recipe is the best that I have come across in a long time. The only thing that I substituted was cottage cheese for ricotta. I use the no cook lasagna noodles. This is a favorite in family and friends.
Loved this. Left out the feta and olives for family preferences. Used the no-cook noodles and didn't have any issues with them as others have commented about.
This was absolutely delicious! We don't like feta so i used Parmesan and Romano instead and it was great. It came together quickly and didn't last long. I agree with another reviewer, cook your noodles before you assemble the dish. I didn't and the noodles were very firm and the bottom of the dish was over cooked by the time the noodles were soft. Even with these few minor issues this is a keeper.
Easy to prepare and full of flavor.. 5 STARS...

I made this last night for dinner. My husband and I absolutely loved it!! This recipe is a keeper!
I have been counting calories/fat/protein/carbs lately to lose weight (working like a charm!) so as I do with all foods now, I entered in this recipe into my cron-o-meter, as well as all the nutritional values for the cheeses and ready-made sauces, etc and was shocked to discover a nice slice of this only comes to 291 calories (my slice weighed 218 grams) and has only 10.9 grams of fat. And I used full fat ricotta, feta and mozzarella!Definitely a nice twist to a traditional meal. Real nice. One reviewer mentioned the red pepper over-powered, but we did not find this. It did however, add an interesting flavour.
This lasagna was fantastic!!! I followed the recipe exactly as was written. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little extra marinara. I DID use the oven-ready noodles and it turned out perfect! Everyone loved it including the kids! Definately a keeper!
Had to use pizza sauce instead of marinara but the pan became extinct very quickly. All the kids begged for more. Share some with friends and they loved it too. DELICIOUS!
This was delicious!! I was very brave - i have never made lasagna, much less chicken lasagna & i made it last night for 6 dinner guests! Luckily it was delicious! Based on the review above, i decided not to do the No Cook noodles - i used regular ones & cooked them about 2-3 minutes less than what the package said, since they'll cook more in the oven. They turned out fine. The only other difference is that i used about 3 cups of the chicken & mozzerella. :) YUM!!
