black bean & chicken lasagna

nottt the best lighting, but you get the gist.
Ingredients//

  • WholeWheat pasta sheets - GF is available if you need it to be gluten-free
  • 1 can of organic black beans - Boiled
  • 1 medium tomato - cut into slices like you would for a burger
  • 1/2 green bell pepper - chopped
  • shredded chicken - about 1 1/2 cups - I made mine in a crockpot, you can cut a boneless/skinless chicken breast in cubes and sauté in extra vigin olive oil - either will work perf! 
  • 1 1/2 cup (roughly) lite cottage cheese
  • 1/4 white onion - cut into strips
  • shredded cheese
  • organic low-salt tomato sauce (pasta)
 step 1  
  • Lay down a base of whole wheat pasta sheets to line your pan
  • Next lay down shredded/chopped chicken evenly, then chopped bell pepper, onion, & tomato slices
step 2 
  • Put down another layer of whole wheat pasta sheets
  • Then, again, lay down shredded/chopped chicken evenly, then chopped bell pepper, onion, & tomato slices
  • After, layer cottage cheese



step 3
  • Cover the cottage cheese layer with a organic tomato sauce - don't be shy - spread that sh!*

step 4
  • Spread shredded cheese on top - I only did it to one side for the boy, feel free to put it all over the top!

step 5

  • Bake in oven for 375F/190C for 34- - 40 minutes - Check to make sure past sheets are soft, and of course the cheese is melted - continue to bake if needed 

I paired mine with roasted sweet potato dots, & carrot sticks.

This was perfect as I was able to take it to work for lunch throughout the week, and hardy enough the boy loved it!

Who's a fan of lasagna?


be GOOD to YOURSELF,
