CAJUN CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

Remove skillet from heat then stir in one jar of alfredo sauce. Taste for seasoning then add more Cajun seasoning if desired; set aside.
• Spray a 3-quart 13x9 dish with cooking spray. Arrange 3-4 lasagna noodles on bottom (whatever fits in your pan). Arrange half of andouille and half of chicken on top of noodles.
