"I know, I know – chicken curry lasagne sounds a bit mental, but the more I imagined the comforting flavours of a classic chicken curry combined with the cheesy, starchy goodness of a lasagne, the more I knew I had to make it happen. Try it and I think you’ll agree this is a match made in comfort food heaven." Lambert comments.
Slow-cooked Chicken Curry Lasagne - serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 3 tablespoons medium curry powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pepper, finely diced
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 750ml chicken stock
- 1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
- 200ml coconut milk (½ a tin)
- 12 lasagne sheets
- 200g mozzarella cheese slices
Method:
Put the chicken pieces into a bowl and toss with 1½ tablespoons of the curry powder and the salt until they are well coated. Throw the chicken, vegetables and remaining curry powder into your slow cooker. Add the stock, chopped tomatoes and coconut milk, stir until everything is combined and cook on low for 4 hours.
Once your filling is ready, preheat your oven to 180°C.
It’s time to assemble your lasagne. Place a layer of lasagne sheets in a family-size baking dish, then top with a third of your filling, then top with mozzarella slices. Repeat until all your filling is used up, finishing with a layer of cheese.
Bake in the oven for 35–40 minutes, until the pasta is soft and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
