• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Half-fill a medium saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Thinly slice button mushrooms, radish and leek. Slice fresh lasagne sheet in half widthways. • Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
• Add chicken to the boiling water and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 8-12 minutes. • Using tongs, remove chicken from the saucepan and transfer to a chopping board. • Shred chicken using two forks (or thinly slice if you prefer).
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook mushrooms and leek until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add chicken-style stock powder, the water and cream (see ingredients) and simmer, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then stir through shredded chicken and basil pesto until combined. Season to taste.
• Spoon half the chicken filling into a baking dish, then top with a layer of lasagne sheets (lay two sheets alongside each other for 4 people). • Repeat with the remaining chicken filling and lasagne sheets. • Top with bechamel sauce and sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. • Bake lasagne until golden, 20-25 minutes. • Meanwhile, combine rocket leaves, radish and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season to taste.
• Divide creamy chicken, mushroom and leek lasagne between plates. • Serve with radish salad. Enjoy!
