  • 2 tsp Vegeta (or chicken stock powder/granulated bouillon) Note 1
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Mushrooms

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (separated) 1 tbsp for cooking mushrooms
  • 500 g mushrooms (quartered)

For the White Sauce

For Assembly

  • 375 g lasagna sheets (fresh or 250g/8oz dried) Note 3

Instructions
 

Cook Chicken

  • In a pot, add the chicken, milk, chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, Vegeta, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked.
  • Once done, remove the chicken and let it cool before shredding it into pieces.

Prepare Mushrooms

  • In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until the mushrooms are soft.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Make White Sauce

  • In the same pan, melt 50g of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic, followed by flour, and stir for a minute.
  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, and bring it to a boil. Cook until the sauce thickens.
  • Mix in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Assemble & Bake

  • In a baking dish, layer the ingredients. Start with some white sauce, then lasagna sheets, shredded chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and more white sauce.
  • Repeat this process until all ingredients are used, finishing with the white sauce.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese and bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30-40 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Notes

Let the lasagna cool before slicing for better pieces. Use pre-cooked chicken to save time. Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrients.
