1. Preheat the oven to 180degrees celsius.
2. Brown off onion and garlic in a saucepan with the olive oil.
3. Brown off the chicken in a frying pan with salt pepper and season with dried herbs.
4. Transfer to saucepan with the onions, add the tins of tomatoes and fresh herbs and simmer until needed (the longer the better)the tomatoes will need to be mashed witha masher to break them up (alternativey use a bottle of passata- this will result in a stronger tomato taste though).
5. Wilt the spinach and warm a saucepan, place the soft cheese and creme fraiche to the pan and mix in the spinach.
6. Get an oven dish and start with the tomato and chicken sauce as the base layer. Alternate layers with lasagne sheets and cheese sauce.
7. Finish final layer with the cheese sauce and top with parmesan or cheddar.
8. Put in the oven for roughly half an hour or as long as required to cook the lasagne sheets.
The lasgne sheets in this recipe can be replaced with roasted pepper, courgettes or aubergine for a slightly healthier option.
