Skillet Chicken Lasagna

A couple of weeks ago while grocery shopping; I was walking down one of the aisles when I saw one of those take one (recipes). You have probably seen them in your grocery stores too. The recipe is promoting a product that is sold in the store. I guess the companies put out these recipes by their products thinking that if you like their recipe that you will purchase their product to make the recipe. (I also found the recipe online when I looked up the product).

The recipe that I saw was for skillet lasagna. It sounded like a nice easy dish, one that would be nice for during the week when there is not a lot of time. I did make a couple of changes, such as using boneless chicken breast instead of Italian pork sausage and adding a little more seasonings.

If you are a lover of pasta and chicken breast I think that you will enjoy this recipe; I know that we did.
