Ingredients:
12 pieces lasagne, uncooked
1 lb boneless chicken breasts (without s, kin), diced
3 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced spring onions
1 cup frozen green peas - thawed and well, drained
1 tsp ground thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/4 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
15 oz low-fat ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese (part-skim, ), divided
1/2 cup grated swiss cheese (reduced fat)
Instructions:
Prepare pasta according to package directions. Spray a Dutch oven or
large skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until
hot. Add chicken and saute 4 minutes or until cooked through. Drain
well and set aside. Recoat Dutch oven with cooking spray and place
over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms, carrots and onions;
saute 6 minutes. Set aside.
Place flour in a medium saucepan. Gradually add milk, stirring with a
wire whisk until blended; stir in sherry. Bring to a boil over medium
heat and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.
Stir in salt and red pepper. Reserve one cup of sauce and set aside.
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and Swiss
cheese.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 cup of the sauce over the
bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Arrange 4 pieces of the lasagne (3
lengthwise, 1 widthwise) over the sauce. Top with half of ricotta
cheeese mixture, half of chicken mixture and half of remaining sauce
mixture. Repeat layers, ending with 4 pieces of lasagne. Spread
reserved 1 cup of sauce over the last complete layer of lasagne,
being sure to cover the lasagne completely.
Cover lasagne with foil and bake 1 hour. Uncover lasagne, sprinkle
remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese on top and bake an additional 5
minutes uncovered. Re-cover and let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
