Cheesy Chicken and Mushroom Lasagne

This chicken and mushroom lasagne is a luxurious twist on a classic Italian-style favourite. By swapping traditional beef for succulent shredded roast chicken and earthy cremini mushrooms, this high-protein dish offers a lighter yet equally satisfying alternative. The combination of nutty Gruyère and sharp Parmigiano-Reggiano creates a sophisticated flavour profile, while fresh thyme leaves add a delicate herbal note to the velvety white sauce.

Perfect for using up leftover roast chicken, this recipe is a brilliant option for a comforting mid-week meal or a relaxed weekend dinner with friends. The use of no-boil egg lasagne sheets makes preparation straightforward, ensuring you spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the bubbling, golden results. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad for a well-balanced and nutritious feast.

Ingredients for Cheesy Chicken and Mushroom Lasagne

  • 1 (275g) package cremini or white mushrooms, thinly sliced

  • 3 spicchi d'aglio, tritati

  • 1 cucchiaio di olio d'oliva

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • 120ml dry white wine

  • 1/2 roast chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded (about 550ml ), and carcass reserved for stock

  • 850ml whole milk

  • 1/4 cup plain flour

  • 2 teaspoons thyme leaves

  • 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

  • 12 Barilla no-boil egg lasagne noodles (less than a 250g package)

  • 230g coarsely grated Gruyère (90g)

  • Equipment: an 8-inch square baking pan

Preheat oven to 425° with rack in middle.

Cook mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper in oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine and simmer briskly 2 minutes. Transfer mushroom mixture to a large bowl and stir in chicken. (Set aside saucepan.)

Bring milk to a bare simmer in a medium saucepan. Melt remaining 60ml butter in 4-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and cook roux, whisking constantly, 3 minutes. Add hot milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Add thyme, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve 240ml sauce. Stir parmesan into sauce remaining in pan, then stir into mushroom filling.

Pour half of reserved plain sauce into baking pan, spreading evenly to coat bottom. Add 3 lasagne sheets, overlapping slightly, and one third of mushroom filling, spreading evenly, then sprinkle one fourth of Gruyère over top. Repeat 2 times. Top with remaining 3 lasagne sheets and remaining plain sauce, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with remaining Gruyère.

Cover with foil, tenting slightly to prevent foil from touching top of lasagne but sealing all around edge, and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is golden, about 15 minutes more. Let lasagne stand 10 minutes before serving.
