Elizabeth's Chicken Lasagna

Alright, alright after many years of requests I'm giving out my favorite lasagna recipe. It's loosely based on a recipe I received from the mom of my husband's high school friends. This is a basic recipe and you can of course add different favors based on what you like. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3-4 chicken breasts skinned and trimmed
1 box of oven ready lasagna noodles
2-3 jars of Alfredo sauce
Oregano
Garlic
Basil
1 block of cream cheese (I usually use fat free)
1/2 stick of butter
Mozzarella cheese

Boil chicken in a sauce pan of water until done through and easily pulls apart.
Shred chicken, dump water, put chicken back in sauce pan.
Add 2-3 jars of Alfredo sauce (I use 1 creamy, and 2 three cheese)
Add oregano, basil, and garlic til you like the way it tastes.
Spray 9x13 with pam and put down 1 layer of oven ready lasagna noodles.
When sauce is warm, spread some over the noodles.
On top of the sauce I put 12 small chunks of cream cheese (3 rows).
In between the rows of cream cheese I put 2 small slivers of butter or margarine. Then I top with mozzarella cheese.
Repeat for 4 layers making the top layer extra cheesy!
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Take the foil off, bake for another 15 minutes let cool some (about 10 minutes) before cutting and serving. This is actually the perfect time to set the table or get a salad thrown together.
