Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
  • Thinly slice brown onion.
  • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. 
Make the filling
2
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
  • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high, then add onion, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes.
  • Add baby spinach leaves and cook until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool slightly, 5 minutes.
  • Once cooled, add ricotta, Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Gently mix until combined.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink in the middle.

Assemble & bake the cannelloni

  • Slice fresh lasagne sheets in half widthways.
  • Spoon a quarter of the diced tomatoes with garlic and onion into the bottom of a baking dish. Lay cut lasagne sheets on a flat surface.
  • Spoon a heaped tablespoon of spinach and ricotta filling down the centre of each sheet. Roll sheets up tightly and place, seamside down, in baking dish.
  • Repeat with remaining sheets and filling, ensuring they fit together snugly in the baking dish. 
  • Evenly spread cannelloni with the remaining diced tomatoes  and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. 
  • Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes.
