Instructions

To embark on the creation of this scrumptious Chicken Crepe Lasagne, we shall first prepare the crepe batter. Begin by taking a mixing bowl and combining the whole wheat flour, optional sooji, and a pinch of salt to taste. Introduce the curd (dahi/yogurt) into the mixture, and as you blend, gradually add water until the batter achieves a consistency that is thinner than traditional pancake batter, ensuring a light and delicate crepe.

Next, heat a flat griddle over medium-high flame. Once hot, pour a ladleful of the prepared batter onto the surface, allowing it to spread naturally and form its shape without any need for spreading. Drizzle a minimal amount of oil around the edges to aid in cooking. Watch for bubbles forming on the surface as an indicator that it’s time to flip; cook until the crepe is golden on both sides, then remove it and set aside. Repeat this process until you have made all the crepes, ensuring they are kept warm and ready for assembly.

Now, for the assembly of our lasagne, take a small saucepan and layer the bottom with a thin coating of salt to prevent burning. Place a steel plate or mesh on top to create a makeshift oven environment. Begin the layering by placing a crepe in a cake tin that fits snugly inside the saucepan. Start with a layer of mixed bell peppers, followed by the shredded chicken, a sprinkle of seasoning, a generous amount of cheese, and a ladle of homemade pizza sauce. Top this with another crepe to seal in the layers.

Continue layering in this manner, alternating with spinach leaves, more mixed bell peppers, additional seasoning, cheese, and pizza sauce, until all ingredients are used and your layers are well balanced. For the final touch, sprinkle a little extra cheese and a dash of red chili flakes on top to enhance flavor and presentation.

Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted beautifully, binding all the layers together in a warm, cheesy embrace. Once ready, serve your Chicken Crepe Lasagne hot, perhaps alongside a bowl of Roasted Tomato and Pumpkin Soup for a delightful weekend dinner. Alternatively, it can be a perfect addition to a Sunday brunch, complemented by a Fresh Fruit Bowl or a Cold Coffee Smoothie for a refreshing finish.

Enjoy this exquisite dish, where every bite is a celebration of flavors and textures, making it a lovely addition to your culinary repertoire!
