Cooking is something we do everyday in one way or the other. Whatever meal we are cooking, making a sandwich or baking a cake, we need a recipe to follow. Sometimes we may not follow a written recipe because it is something that is very simple and we have it memorized, like making a sandwich, but in actual fact we are still following a recipe even if it is one that is in our subconscious. People are also more health conscious these days. A large number of people are on a healthy diet and they want to cook healthy diet food. Most people know that a complete meal should have every food group such as meat, carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits, and so no. The healthy diet pyramid tells you what you should have in your ingredients.

Here is a very good crockpot recipe for a pasta dish main course that consists of ingredients from many food groups. This pasta dish is chicken lasagna. It sounds like a simple dish but it is wonderfully delicious. This recipe serves 4 people and takes approximately 5 hours to prepare. It is not difficult to make but not too easy either. However, the end result is so tasty that it is well worth the effort.

Ingredients for the Chicken Lasagna

You need approximately 1 pound of cooked, shredded chicken breasts or more if you are a protein person. Then, you need 1 large onion, finely chopped, 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped, 2 jars (17 oz.) of spaghetti sauce, 1 package (18 ounce) “no-cook” lasagna noodles, 1 package (9 oz.) of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 container (9 oz.) of ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 egg. Now, if you have your favorite vegetables, such as eggplants, you can add some too but make sure they are finely chopped.

Get Ready with the Crockpot

First you need to brown the onions, any other vegetables, and garlic in a non-stick pan. Then you will add the spaghetti sauce and mix everything together very well. In a separate bowl, you will mix the cheeses, milk and egg. It is best to grease the crockpot a little. Place 1/4 of the spaghetti meat sauce mixture in the bottom of the crockpot then, 1/3 of a layer of noodles. You can break the noodles so that they fit into your crockpot. After that, you can place about 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top. Then, repeat the process of: sauce, noodles, cheese for two more layers. Put the remaining meat sauce on top. Cook in the crockpot on low setting for roughly 6 hours until the noodles are soft.
