CHICKEN LASAGNA FLORENTINE
I have to admit that I usually do not like to cook with "cream of" soups, but my family likes this so much that I make an exception. I would be interested in knowing if your little kiddies like it because my younger brother and sister (who never like to try anything new and under normal circumstances hate spinach) love it.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, organic ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your lasagna.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a lean protein, so it can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in lasagna, so make sure to use a cheese that you love. A good melting cheese, such as mozzarella or fontina, is a good choice.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. There are many different ways to make lasagna, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You might try adding different vegetables, cheeses, or sauces to your lasagna.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set properly.
Conclusion:
Chicken Florentine Lasagna with Bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and crispy bacon, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
