Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (around 700g)
½ medium onion , sliced
2 bay leaves
200ml white wine
100g butter
100g plain flour
500ml semi-skimmed milk
140g sliced smoked ham , cut into strips
200g young spinach leaves
225g no pre-cook dried lasagne sheets (about 20 sheets)
200g ready-grated mozzarella
25g parmesan , finely grated

Steps:

Put the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan with the onion, bay leaves and wine. Pour over just enough water to cover, around 200ml. Put a lid on top and bring to a gentle simmer. Poach gently for 15 mins or until the chicken is just cooked. Transfer the chicken to a board and strain the liquid into a jug.
Melt the butter in a large non-stick saucepan over a medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon and cook for about a minute. Gradually add the milk, a little at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure the sauce stays smooth. Once all the milk has been added, stir in the reserved cooking liquid and continue cooking for a further 2-3 mins. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
Cut the chicken into small chunks and stir into the saucepan. Add the ham and spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted. Spoon a third of the chicken mixture into the base of a 3-litre lasagne dish (about 26 x 18cm). Top with a third of the lasagne sheets. Repeat the layers twice more, ending with lasagne. Scatter the mozzarella and Parmesan on top and season with black pepper. Can be frozen at this stage (see below). Bake for about 25 mins or until the lasagne is tender, the topping is well browned and the filling hot.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
4 slices cooked ham, cut into squares
2 leeks, washed and sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 sheets fresh or dried lasagne sheets
1 tsp each dried chives and dried parsley
2 tbsp grated parmesan
2 chicken breasts
4 slices cooked ham, cut into squares
2 leeks, washed and sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 sheets fresh or dried lasagne sheets
1 tsp each dried chives and dried parsley
2 tbsp grated parmesan
50g light margarine
50g plain flour
200ml skimmed milk
200g light mature cheddar

Steps:

First make the sauce. Gently heat the margarine in a pan until melted, then add flour and mix together to make a roux. Add the milk a splash at a time, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon as it heats through and thickens. Add cheddar and stir until melted. If too thick add extra milk, a splash at a time. Season.
If using dried lasagne sheets, simmer in a pan of water for 10 mins to soften, then drain.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Cut chicken into small cubes, heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry until cooked through.
Remove chicken from the pan, add leeks and fry gently for 5 mins. Add garlic and fry for a further 2 mins.
To the cheese sauce add chicken, ham, leeks and herbs. Mix well.
Put a third of the sauce into a lasagne dish and spread out, then cover with half the lasagne sheets. Add another layer of sauce, followed by the remaining lasagne sheets and finally the last of the sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan and a little cracked black pepper if you like.
Place into the oven and bake for 30 mins. Allow to cool for 3-5 mins before serving.
