Steps:

• Cook andouille in a large skillet over medium-high heat until nicely browned. Andouille is already cooked through - we're really just cooking it to render the fat and get some good color on it. Using a slotted spoon so that the pan drippings stay in the skillet, remove andouille from skillet; set aside.
• Season chicken with 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning then add to hot skillet with pan drippings. Saute chicken until just done, adding a little vegetable oil if necessary to prevent sticking. Remove chicken from the skillet with a slotted spoon; set aside.
• Add bell pepper, onion, celery and a dash or two Cajun seasoning to skillet. Saute vegetables until tender and fragrant. Add garlic then saute for 2 more minutes. Remove skillet from heat then stir in one jar of alfredo sauce. Taste for seasoning then add more Cajun seasoning if desired; set aside.
• Spray a 3-quart 13x9 dish with cooking spray. Arrange 3-4 lasagna noodles on bottom (whatever fits in your pan). Arrange half of andouille and half of chicken on top of noodles. Spoon half of alfredo vegetable mixture over meat. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over vegetable mixture. Repeat this step once then top with the remaining 3-4 lasagna noodles.
• Pour remaining jar of alfredo sauce over top layer of noodles. Cover bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour (tenting foil if necessary to prevent the foil from resting on the alfredo sauce). Remove from oven and rest, covered, for 15-20 minutes before serving.
