    Hi, here is my chicken lasagne recipe

    4 chicken breasts chopped
    Onion
    2 tins chopped toms
    1 tin sweetcorn
    2 peppers
    mushrooms
    courgette
    squirt of tom puree
    packet Scwartz lasagne mix (my cheat, well if Delia can do it so can I :rotfl:)
    Lasagne sheets
    Bechemel sauce (home made or from a jar depending on time)
    Grated cheese

    Fry the onion and chicken until cooked. Add everything else (except lasagne sheets) and cook on the hob until the peppers start to soften.
    Layer up in a lasagne dish, lasagne, meat, lasagne, meat.... then top with lasagne sheets, bechemel sauce and sprinkle with cheese, put in the oven at 200C for 45 mins, then enjoy :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I once ate this in a cafe and it was yum yum, so we have leftover chicken breasts, fresh pasta sheets and broccoli in so was going to attempt it tonight.

    All the recipes I can find online have riccota and other ingrediants I don't have.

    I was thinking of

    Cooking the chicken and broccoli, maybe some onion, with a can of condensed chicken soup?

    Bit stuck beyond that point.

    Any tips?

    I can see a layer of cooked chicken and broccoli working but I am not to sure on the soup as I always do mince and cheese sauce in layers with the pasta.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    I'd make a cheese sauce instead of the soup Button, maybe with a splash of white wine if you have any;)

    I'd probably add sweetcorn or mushrooms to the chicken and broccoli.

    Cook both chicken and veg first.

    Then layer chicken and veg with sauce and lasagne. Keep some sauce for the top.

    Well I made a cheese sauce and added garlic to the broccoli and chicken (didn't add sweetcorn or mushrooms as I hate sweetcorn and OH hates mushrooms, he hates broccoli too but that's just tough!) figured the chicken would be a bit dry, and when you make it with mince it's in a tomato sauce, so I did add a can of chicken soup to that, condensed, made a nice thick paste over it all. Added some cheese sauce too it, layer of pasta, cheese on the top, finished with tomatoes and parmasan.

    It was very very nice!!

    Had it with a side salad that used up wrinkly spring onions and crinkled tomatoes, and threw in a tesco value part baked baguette. They are fab for the price btw!

    I think the soup would work fine if ur not onfident making sauces, u could put some cream cheese in it if u have some and don't water it down too much U wouldn't want it to be too runny, sounds like a lovely dish - good luck
