G’s Famous Chicken Vegetable Lasagna

Description

A warm, hearty lasagna packed with flavour and loaded with fresh vegetables.

This lighter, healthier version uses chicken mince and a full mix of colourful vegetables without losing any of the comfort of a classic lasagna. Layered with a rich cheese sauce and topped with a golden three‑cheese blend, it’s perfect for family dinners or weekly meal prep. Baked in a large deep dish and cut into eight generous portions, it freezes beautifully for single‑serve meals you can reheat anytime.
