Cream of chicken soup provides an awesome shortcut for a rich pasta dish that doesn't require an oven. Cheesy and easy.
2 cans (10.75 ounce size) reduced-fat, reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 package (9 ounce size) frozen diced cooked chicken (or use leftover diced chicken)
1 carton (8 ounce size) reduced-fat sour cream
1 cup 1% low fat or fat-free milk
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Grease the inside of the crock pot.
Combine the cream of chicken soup, chopped spinach, diced chicken, sour cream, milk, Parmesan, onion, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl and mix well.
Place 3 lasagna noodles in the bottom of the greased crock pot, breaking the noodles as needed to fit.
Spread 1/3 of the chicken mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the Mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, ending with the Mozzarella cheese.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 1 hour then reduce the heat to low and cook for 2-3 more hours or until the pasta is cooked.
Serve the chicken lasagna hot.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

This was my first time cooking pasta in the crock pot and it worked great. I didn't use the reduced fat products, just regular.

Made this for a teachers meeting (hoping that it would turn out since it was a new recipe for me). Everyone loved it and I handed out copies of the recipe to 4 other people. Thank you for this delicious dish!
