CHICKEN AND HAM LASAGNA



Chicken and Ham Lasagna image

This creamy version of lasagna goes over great at community get-togethers. My husband doesn't like broccoli, so I often substitute zucchini and yellow squash from our garden. I precook the squash before adding it to the mushroom mixture. -Pamela Grady, Inman, South Carolina

CHICKEN & HAM LASAGNE



Chicken & ham lasagne image

This comforting dish of layered pasta sheets, meat and spinach is topped with gooey, melted cheese - freeze now for entertaining later

Provided by Justine Pattison

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

Tips:

  • Lasagna noodles do not need to be pre-boiled.
  • For a crispy crust, make sure to let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • To make the recipe ahead of time, assemble the lasagna and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the lasagna in a 350°F oven for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and ham. Add roasted vegetables like zucchini, squash, or bell peppers instead.
  • For a creamy lasagna, use a béchamel sauce instead of a white sauce.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. A blend of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta is a classic, but you can also use Gruyère, fontina, or provolone.

This white chicken and ham lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
