Cajun Chicken Lasagna





';This lasagna has just the right amount of zing to it. The key to this is the andouille sausage...probably not good for anyone counting calories either! The meat mixture would be good served over fettucine noodles, if you would like to save time';

If you want to take the easy way out. Go to your locale supper market and get your self some Cajun seasoning they do make this. After you get this, mix 1\2 of cup with 1 cup of butter, then use a basting brush to put on chicken, every 10 to 15 min. until down. Be really careful when you do, it is better to do this on both sides. Good Luck %26amp; let me know how it turned out, at livingadream23@yahoo
