Chicken Lasagna with White Sauce
Both my boys are at home, one’s working online and the other is doing online schooling. Whilst I love them being home I am finding it impossible to make anything for my blog. It’s almost like they have a sixth sense when the food’s ready. As I get my camera out to shoot my photos they come rushing into the kitchen asking if they can eat. This happens no matter what time the food’s ready. I think if dinner is ready at 10 in the morning they will probably still ask to eat…Lol! When they’re not home I at least have a few hours in the day to cook, capture my photos and post before they gobble up the food. I think I will have to start at 4am everyday if I am going to do a successful post. Although I wasn’t successful at capturing the best photos for this dish I think they’re still good enough to post. As least it looks edible. I had to scrap some of the photos that didn’t turn out great because there was no chance of shooting new ones. Great photos or not this lasagna is so delicious. Trust me it will become a favourite in your home, if you have a pasta loving family. It does take a little effort but it’s worth it.
Ingredients required for the lasagna
For this Chicken Lasagna with White Sauce you will need Chicken Breasts, Chicken Stock/Broth, Fresh Thyme, Garlic, Butter, Cake Wheat or All Purpose Flour, Milk, Salt, Pepper, Cheese, Lasagna sheets
How to make the Lasagna
I poach my chicken breasts like I usually do when I use shredded chicken. The best way to get the most tender breasts is to bring it to a boil in the chicken stock and then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. You will then need to make a regular white sauce. Only for this recipe you will use the leftover chicken stock and some milk. For me whether the instructions for the lasagna sheets say it has to be pre-cooked on not I still pre-cook mine. I pop them in some salted boiling water and boil for 6 minutes. This way I am guaranteed to have perfectly cooked lasagna once popped into the oven. It also cuts down the cooking time. Although this lasagna doesn’t use a lot of spice and herbs it does need a considerable amount of cheese. I am not complaining because who doesn’t love cheese. It is not something you eat everyday so if it’s on the odd occasion it’s all good. This recipe does make quite a large lasagne. I think you could feed up to 8 people.
