MARY BERRY CHICKEN LASAGNA RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Grease the ovenproof dish with butter.
• Soak the lasagne sheets in recently boiled warm water to soften while you prepare the two sauces.
• For the pork and spinach sauce, heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the sausage meat and brown over a high heat for 5–10 minutes until golden-brown, breaking up the mince with two wooden spoons. Sprinkle in the flour and fry for a minute.
• Add the chilli, garlic and mushrooms and fry for about 5 minutes. Stir in the crème fraîche and spinach. Bring to the boil and allow to bubble for a couple of minutes. Season well with salt and pepper and set aside.
• For the tomato sauce, mix all the ingredients together in a jug or bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
• Drain the lasagne sheets.
• Spoon one-third of the spinach sauce into the base of the ovenproof dish. Spoon one-third of the tomato sauce on top and arrange half the lasagne sheets over the tomato sauce. Repeat using two more layers of spinach and tomato sauce and one of lasagne sheets. Sprinkle over the grated cheese.
• Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the top of the dish is golden-brown and bubbling around the edges. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.
• Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Beat the egg in another bowl.
• Dip the chicken into the eggs, then into the breadcrumb mixture. Discard the remaining crumbs.
• Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet, lightly spray the top with oil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes, do not turn. When done, remove from the oven and reduce oven temp to 400F.
• Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, parmesan cheese, and basil in a medium bowl.
• In a 9 x 13 x 3-inch Pyrex Deep baking dish, ladle 3/4 cup of marinara on the bottom of the dish.
• Arrange 3 lasagna noodles across the dish (they will expand as they cook), top with 3/4 cup sauce, 4 pieces of chicken, 1/4 of the ricotta cheese mixture, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 3/4 cup spinach.
• Repeat the 2nd layer, skipping the chicken.
• Repeat the 3rd layer with the chicken, and the 4th layer without the chicken.
• For the 5th layer, spread the last 3 sheets of pasta noodles with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce on top.
• Cover with foil and bake in a 400F preheated oven in the center rack 50 minutes.
• Uncover, add the remaining cup of mozzarella and bake until melted, 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let it rest 15 minutes before serving.
