- 1/2 sweet onion (diced)
- 14 ounce canned tomatoes (diced and drained)
- 1 cup Chile Peppers (roasted, peeled, chopped)

Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and whisk together until a light brown roux forms. Cook the roux over medium heat until roux is golden. This will also help remove that "flour-y" taste.
- Slowly add chicken broth and bring to a low boil whisking constantly. Stir in 1 cup of full fat milk.
- Add diced and drained tomatoes, green chile peppers, and shredded cooked chicken, stirring to combine and heat, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend together ricotta cheese, eggs and shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Coat a 3 quart lasagna pan with cooking spray.
- Place a 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom. Top with 4 lasagna noodles and then ricotta and cheddar cheese mixture.
- Repeat 3 times, with last layer being cheese mixture. Sprinke the Cotija cheese over the top of the lasagna.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and cook an additional 15 0- 20 minutes
- Remove and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Top with fine chopped green onions for garnish.
