Creamy chicken lasagna
@extratoom Creamy chicken lasagna. This recipe is absolutely amazing it’s not your traditional #lasagna recipe but it’s so worth it. Perfect for meal prep or if you have big family. The well seasoned chicken filling works so well with the creamy bachamel sauce. Make sure to add Red Leicester as well as your mozzarella on top as they both complement each other.
