Chicken bread lasagna pie recipe with photos of each step. In this pie, we combine the goodness of homemade sandwiches with french pie. The recipe is highly adaptable.
Specially , when guests are around and you want one quick dish. This is my favorite on those days. So you can adjust this bread lasagna to your taste, however, I'm giving a complete recipe with fresh ingredients.
Bread Lasagna Pie
What makes this bread lasagna pie absolutely yummy is the variety of sauce. The ketchup-mayo sauce on soaked bread makes a soft base for the pie. Then almost any leftover chicken pairs well with the dish. Finally, the creamy cheesy veggie sauce. When you dig your spoon into the dish you feel going through so many layers and each with a distinct taste. Overall, tasting so much in one bite is so delightful.
One more thing that's so good about this pie is you can use any veggie available to you in the pantry. I prefer chopping my veggies very finely so my kids who are not great fans of veggies will eat these essentials without any trouble.
Bread lasagna with leftovers
This is a very forgiving dish and can be made with leftovers too. You can use stale bread ( although, fresh is recommended), leftover chicken with or without gravy. Add vegetables that are in hand and everyday sauces, like white sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Finish with some cheese, and a delicious bread lasagna is ready to eat.
Lastly, this bread pie is juicy! NOM NOM NOM. You won't stop till wipe off the dish clean.

The bread that you add in the base layer ....does that crisp up while baking or remains soggy?
Recipe 52 says
Since, we are dipping it in milk it will be kind of soggy. In fact, the bread is should be well absorbed with all sauces. And it is hardly distinguishable in the pie.
Ruqaiya says
Hi why do put bread in the first layer.. wht the purpose of adding that and if I add veggies raw like this won't it leave some moisture as veegies without stir frying do leave some moisture.. please reply I want to try it tonight

Usually in any pie there is some sort of carb which makes it filling , like potato, puff pastry, pasta, lasagne etc. So in this recipe bread act as carb.
We'll soak bread in milk and add sauce over it so it won't taste like sandwich or so. In fact sometimes it is difficult to tell that a layer of bread is added to the dish. We are adding vegetables directly to hot white sauce, so it cooks the vegetable a bit. Besides, when we bake the pie the vegetable with cook further.
The excess water from veggies will add to the moisture in the dish and save it from being too dry.
This recipes has been tested number of times by me as well as many followers. Give it a go!:)
Lastly, if you still prefer very soft vegetable than you can stir fry vegetables and add it as separate layer over the white sauce.
