Three Cheese Chicken Bake

Posted by kccaid at recipegoldmine.com April 2001

8 ounces lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon basil
16 ounces cottage cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup milk
2 cups cooked, diced chicken
2 cups shredded American cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Saute onion and green pepper in butter till tender. Stir in soup, mushrooms, milk and basil. Heat through. Arrange 1/2 of the noodles in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Top with 1/2 of each of the sauce, cottage cheese, American and Parmesan cheese. Repeat noodles, sauce, cottage cheese and chicken. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60 minutes.

Top with remaining American and Parmesan cheeses and bake for 3 minutes longer or until cheese on top melts. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

NOTE: I believe when I first got this recipe it also called for a small jar of chopped pimiento to be added to the sauce part, but I never have them on hand and can live with them or without them, so I just deleted them from the recipe when I recopied it to a new cookbook a few years ago.
