Treat yourself with pulled chicken lasagne with spinach and courgette

Treat yourself with pulled chicken lasagne with spinach and courgette

Our cyclists need to eat a lot while cycling to maintain their energy levels. But what exactly do they eat and what is the best food for while cycling? Our FoodCoaches have put together a delicious pasta dish for four people, or for two hungry endurance athletes: pulled chicken cream sports lasagne with spinach and courgette! Read the recipe below in our Jumbo Food Friday.

Ingredients for four people:

250 g whole-wheat lasagne sheets


Sauce:

2 tbsp olive oil

150 gr onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

500 ml chicken stock

4 tbsp flour of your choice (e.g. spelt flour)

250 ml Jumbo Cooking Dairy 7% Fat

500 gr washed spinach

350 g courgette in thin half slices


Cheese mixture:

250 gr ricotta

220 gr Goldsteig mozzarella 8.5%

200 ml egg white

2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped


Pulled chicken:

400 gr organic chicken breast

Pepper and salt to taste

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan. Cut the chicken breast into two pieces and fry and stew the chicken until done with the lid on the pan. Remove the chicken from the pan once cooked and leave covered to cool on a plate. Heat a tall frying pan or wok with 1 tbsp olive oil. Fry the garlic and onion. Add the chicken stock and, using a whisk, whisk in the flour spoon by spoon. Pour in the cream and cook gently for 5-8 minutes until the sauce has the thickness of gravy. Remove from the heat and set aside.

3. In a pan with a little water, briefly fry the courgette and spinach so that they shrink slightly. Stir this into the sauce and leave to cool.

4. In a bowl, mix the ricotta with the egg white, parsley, pepper and salt. Set aside.

5. Pull the cooled chicken breast apart into long strands.

6. Build up the lasagne layer by layer: start with some sauce, top with some lasagne sheets, then a layer of chicken with some cheese mixture on top, followed by lasagne sheets and sauce again. Repeat until all ingredients are used up.

7. Garnish with the mozzarella, salt and pepper (and any remaining sauce).

8. Bake the lasagne in the oven for about 40-60 minutes.

Serve with a slice of whole-wheat toast and a fresh salad of tomato, cucumber and julienne carrot (in a bowl, mix: 4 diced vine tomatoes, 150g grated carrot, 20g toasted almond shavings, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp honey; mix and you're done!).
