Ingredients 

1 tablespoon olive oil
2-1/2 pounds Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Tenders
9 lasagna noodles (from a 16-ounce package)
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped ripe olives, optional
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups coarsely shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups coarsely shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions 

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 13” x 9” baking pan.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook stirring frequently and breaking large pieces into smaller pieces for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is just no longer pink. Set aside.

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain well.

Meanwhile, stir together the soups, Parmesan cheese, milk, onion, olives (if using), mayonnaise, and garlic salt in a medium bowl.

Combine the Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in a medium bowl.

Arrange 3 lasagna noodles in the prepared pan. Top with about 2 1/4 cups of the chicken. Spread 2 cups of the sauce over the chicken. Top with 1 1/3 cups of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers. Top with the 3 remaining noodles and cheese.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the cheese is melted and begins to brown and the center of the lasagna is hot. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
