Chicken pesto lasagna



Ingredients:

2 grilled chicken breasts
1/2 cup pesto
1 1/2 QT tomato sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 med onion, sliced
1 TB olive oil
homemade ricotta (or 1 container store bought)
1 cup shredded provolone
5 lasagna noodles, broken into thirds
1 TB agave nectar, or sugar

Directions:

Make ricotta according to directions.  (Or you can use store bought, probably one container)  While the ricotta is firming up, broil or grill 2 chicken breasts.  Saute onion and garlic in olive oil.  When it starts to brown, add agave nectar (or sugar).  Cook a few minutes more and turn off heat.  Set aside.  Slice chicken thin after it's cooked.  Start layering items.  No need to cook the noodles ahead of time!  (yay!)  Start with tomato sauce on the bottom of the crock pot.  Just toss in broken noodles, a handful of chicken, handful of provolone, and dot with pesto, onions and ricotta.  Keep layering till crock pot is almost full,  making the top layer cheese and pesto.  Cook on low for about 1 1/2 hours, or until noodles are cooked.
