Hi Joanne, thanks for the recipe. It sounds delicious and I'm so sorry I haven't got back to you but I'm having alot of health issues and can't get on here much . I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteSounds good, will have to try this one when I don't want to make the real lasagna. I used to use ricotta cheese all the time, then one day in a chicken alfredo 3 cheese stuffed shell recipe it called for large curd cottage cheese! It was amazing. You can't always find the ricotta & cottage cheese works great! Let me know if you want to try this chicken one, it is now our favorite dish!
ReplyDeletesounds amazing, we eat a lot of chicken, would love to try it!
