Chicken Lasagne

[asha_76]

Hi all,
Here is a Chicken Lasagne recipe I adapted from one of my cookbooks that turned out really well in the TM.

CHICKEN LASAGNE - adapted from Brilliant Chicken Recipes (Family Circle)

SERVES - 4

INGREDIENTS
1 clove garlic
20 g oil
250g frozen spinach, thawed
50g butter
50g plain flour
500ml milk
180g cheddar cheese
300g diced cooked or BBQ chicken
fresh lasagne sheets

PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 180°.
2. Add cheddar cheese to TM bowl and grate for 6-8 seconds on Speed 8.
3. Remove 60g of cheddar cheese from the bowl and set aside.
4. To the remaining cheddar cheese, add the butter, flour and milk and cook for 7 minutes at 90° on Speed 4.
5. Set aside the cheese sauce and rinse TM bowl.
6. Place the garlic into TM bowl and chop for 2-3 seconds on Speed 7.
7. Scrape down sides of bowl then add the oil and saute for 2-3 minutes at 100° on Speed 1.
8. Add spinach to TM bowl and cook for 5 minutes at 90° on Speed 3.  Season to taste.
9. Add 1/2 cup cheese sauce to the spinach and put 1/3 of the spinach mixture into an ovenproof dish.  
10. Cover with lasagne sheets, then another 1/3 of the spinach mixture.  
11. Sprinkle over half the chicken and cover with lasagne.
12. Repeat with the remaining spinach, chicken and lasagne, and finish by pouring on the remaining cheese sauce.
13. Sprinkle over the remaining cheddar cheese and bake for 30-40 minutes.

JD - didn't have enough chicken so added some diced ham and used caramelised garlic paste instead of a clove of garlic.  DH really enjoyed it, I thought the cheese sauce was a little rich so would cut the quantity of cheese.  Apart from that, it was very nice. Thanks asha.

Mills - Turned out perfect, nothing better then watching the kids enjoy their dinner and even enjoy their spinach. This is now made once a week. Thanks so much for sharing such a great recipe.

Glad you liked it!  I often used to avoid recipes that required a cheese sauce but the TM seems to do them so well that it's impossible to go wrong.

This looked so great (thanks for the photo JD) that I have added it to this week's menu ahead of the other 88 recipes I have backed up in the "Yet to Try" tab in Evernote. Can't wait. I cooked some thighs on the weekend ready to use in this recipe.

This lloks YUM, on my list to do next week. 
Any ideas what I could use in place of spinach - the one veg I can't get my girls to eat unless on pizza herb bread.

Perhaps some broccoli astarra.
