Chicken Florentine Lasagna from Best of CL

[Kristilyn1]

I made this last night, served it with the herbed foccaccia (from sometime last summer CL??)and it was great! The kids liked it as well. My only comment is I made it the day before, refrigerated it and then baked it. I think I would make a little extra sauce and pour it over at the end, as it was a tad dry from the no boil noodles soaking up all the sauce.
