Cheesy Chicken and Mushroom LasagneRomulo Yanes

No-boil lasagne noodles are a lifesaver: They can turn what's often perceived as a party dish into a practical weeknight supper—especially since you have the luxury of simply reaching into the refrigerator and pulling out the main ingredient: half a roast chicken. Leftover lasagne noodles are handy for crumbling into soup.
