Tips:

To infuse a smoky flavor into the lasagna, char the poblano and Anaheim peppers on the stovetop or under a broiler before roasting them in the oven.
To easily remove the charred skin from the peppers, place them in a paper bag and let them steam for 10-15 minutes. The charred skin will then peel right off.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of light and dark meat chicken.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can brown the chicken and vegetables in a large skillet over medium heat.
Be sure to season the chicken well with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
