Smear some sauce (not the one with chicken) at the bottom of the casserole. Cover with lasagna sheets.
Top with half the mushroom chicken mixture then ½ cup mozzarella cheese then cover with lasagna sheets.

Pour over the sauce we preserved before then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Let stand for 15 minutes then cut and serve.
