I’ve been making this chicken lasagne for some of my neighbours recently and it’s such a big favourite that everyone has been asking for the recipe! With Christmas approaching, I thought it would be a good recipe to share if you’re not so fussed about making Christmas themed food but still need something quick and tasty that will feed a lot of people AND that they’ll all enjoy!
