I'm making the Skillet Lasagna from '29 minutes to dinner' BUT I'm tweaking it a little. Instead of ground sausage I'm using shredded chicken breast and instead of ricotta cheese I'm using Italian cheese blends and instead of lasagna noodles I'm using left over jumbo shells from our stuffed shells we had the other day - so it will be sort of like Skillet Lasagna or will it?
