Mexican Chicken Lasagna in the Oven?

In summary, there are a few ways to make the DCB recipes in the oven if the microwave is too small. For the Mexican Chicken Lasagna, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and cook for 25 minutes. For the Chicken Penne Alfresco, it can be made in a 12-inch skillet or in a large disposable roaster pan at 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes. Adding a can of green chiles to the cream cheese mix is also a delicious option. It is important to let the dish stand for 15-20 minutes before serving.

How do you translate the DCB recipes to the oven? My microwave is too small!!! :(
 
My director's microwave is too small, so at our cluster meeting, we put it in a 350 deg oven for about 30-35 minutes. We thought it might be ready at about 20-25, but it wasn't "bubbling" yet, so we kept it in for a total of 30-35 minutes and it was perfect.

I also would like to know this? I have a host that will hopefully choose this and I haven't found out yet if her micro is big enough? I'm going to call her tonight and find out but knowing I could use the oven would be great.
 
375 degrees in a preheated oven will get the Mexican Chicken lasagna bubbling in 25 minutes. Have had 4 hosts that microwave is very micro and won't hold the Deep Covered Baker. When this happens, I always say to the host, do what I do and you can get a bigger microwave and write it off as a business expense when you are trying more fabulous uses for the deep covered baker in YOUR NEW microwave!

I don't think it would work right in the oven. I'd do it in the 12 in skillet instead.
 
I have made it twice in the oven. Personally, I think it works out better in the oven. I did it at 350 for an hour and then let is stand for 15-20 min to set up. That's really important. FYI, yesterday I doubled the recipe, made it in one of those large disposable roaster pans. Worked out great.

Another idea, I add a can of green chiles to the cream cheese mix.

I made the Chicken penne Alfresco in the oven 350 for about 40- 45minutes. I don't think my oven cooks hot enough so I always have to watch my dish. good luck
