I developed an interest in cooking by watching cooking shows on TV. I have watched and tried many dishes and have sharpened my skills according to my taste and also by continuously thinking of ways to improve the usual recipe and create something new. So today, I give you my customized Chicken Lasagna Cake recipe, which is quite popular among my family and is one of my personal favourites.
There’s an interesting story related to this chicken lasagna cake recipe. During my job interview at a company I now work for, the HR interviewer asked me about my hobbies. I told her how much I loved cooking. So she went on asking me about any recipe of my liking, and I told her this whole recipe of Chicken Lasagna was just like that! So this dish will always remain a fond memory as it helped me get my job.
