2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Garlic salt
Cheesey White Sauce
40 gram Butter
1 Garlic Clove-minced
2 tbsp Plain flour
200 gram Sour cream and chive packet mix
3 cups Vitasoy coconut milk
Directions
- Slice chicken breast horizontally to make thinner fillets, I placed a spatula on top and sliced through with a shape knife so that my hand or fingers were not in the way.
- Heat oil in frypan over medium heat, add garlic salt and thin chicken breast filets. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side and set aside until all chicken is cooked.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- Grease the bottom of baking dish with spray oil or 1 teaspoon of butter, lay fresh pasta sheets in one layer on the bottom.
- Top pasta with one layer of chicken, then broccoli, drizzle with 1/4 of cheesy white sauce.
- Repeat step 4 starting with a pasta sheet on top of white sauce, then chicken, broccoli, sauce. Do this until all ingredients are used, we had 3 layers in our dish the final layer having a thicker coating of the cheesy white sauce on the top layer.
- Top with grated cheese and cook for 45 minutes.
- Serve with a garden salad.
