This is GREAT Lasagna! Lots of good cheese a great sauce & meat that can't be beat! MAKE IT A LASAGNA NIGHT!
 
1, 16 oz size box of Lasagna noodles
1 & 1/2 LBS Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1 & 1/2 LBS 90% Lean Ground Beef
3 Cups Ricotta Cheese
3 Eggs Beaten
8 Cups Shredded Pizza Cheese by Kraft
1, 4LB Jar of Prego Spaghetti Sauce
Garlic, & Onion Powder, & Parsley flakes
 
In a large deep pot simmer chicken breast in water to cover that you added about 1 tsp. each of the garlic & onion powder& 1 tsp. salt. Cook until chicken is cooked through & juices run clear. Remove from water & let cool to the touch about 20 minutes. In that same pot with the chicken broth from the chicken you just cooked & bring to a boil & drop in the lasagna noodles & cook according to the package. Once cooked drain! While noodles cook brown the beef in a large skillet. add 1 tsp. each of the onion & garlic powder, & salt. Cook until meat is no longer pink. drain off grease. Now in a LARGE, DEEP Lasagna pan place about 3/4 cup of the Prego sauce in the bottom & spread out evenly. Now place the cooked noodles over the sauce so they cover the bottom of the pan 1 layer of noodles only, but you might need to overlap them to cover all gaps. Now spoon in 1/2 of the remaining sauce & smooth out to cover the noodles evenly & completely! Now spread 1/2 of the beef over 1/2 of the pan. On the other 1/2 spread out 1/2 of the chicken that you cut into bite sized chunks! Beat the eggs & stir them into the Ricotta Cheese. stir in 1 tsp. each of the garlic & onion powder & about 2 tsp. of the parsley flakes. Now dollop that on top of the meat layer using 1/2 of the Ricotta mixture & spread it out evenly . Now sprinkle 1/2 of the Pizza Cheese over the Ricotta layer. Now place a new layer of noodles over this! Take the rest of the sauce & spread it over the noodles. Place the rest of the beef on one 1/2 making sure it is over the first beef 1/2. Do the same with the chicken keeping it on the chicken 1/2! Dollop the rest of the Ricotta over all & then the rest of the Pizza Cheese. Sprinkle Parsley over the top! Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour! Let the Lasagna rest 10 minutes before serving! GREAT EATING!
