Smoked Chicken and Bacon Lasagne Recipe

Zoesquid has requested a copy of my lasagne recipe. It's really simple to make because I don't really make it the same each time. It's just one of those recipes that you can throw together without measuring etc but I'll try to include proper measurements as I type it up.

The recipe will feed at least 4 adults. I usually serve it with some simple salad & garlic bread.

You will need:

2 Smoked Chicken Breast Fillets (you can find these vacuum packed in the meat section at Aldi or Safeway).

250 grams rindless bacon

1 large onion

1 jar sun dried tomatoes / or fresh tomatoes if you wish

1 jar roasted capsicum / or fresh capsicum if you wish

2 packets instant lasagne sheets / or fresh lasagne if you wish

2 garlic cloves (or 2 teaspoons minced garlic)

Bechamel Sauce (you can make this any way you wish - I use the simple flour / milk / cheese recipe)

Dice the onion and the bacon. Add the garlic and fry together in a little butter and olive oil. Drain on paper towel.

Slice up the smoked chicken fillets into thin slices.

Slice up the sun dried tomatoes and roasted capsicum into pieces (these may need to be drained on some paper towel also). Don't use the whole jar - just use as much as you need as the flavours are quite strong.

Make the bechamel sauce.

Put a little bechamel sauce in the bottom of the lasagne dish.

Place a layer of lasagne sheets.

Cover in bechamel sauce.

Place a layer of sliced chicken.

Place a layer of lasagne sheets.
Cover in bechamel sauce.

Place a layer of the onion, bacon and garlic.

Place a layer of tomatoes and capsicum.

Place a layer of lasagne sheets.
Cover in bechamel sauce.

Top with a mixture of grated tasty and grated parmesan cheese.

This can be cooked immediately at about 180 degrees celsius for about an hour. You will need to stick a knife in to see whether the lasagne sheets have softened.

This can also be pre-made and left in the fridge overnight and then cooked in the oven the next day.
