Following back-to-back PL2 losses, the young Foxes put three points on the board courtesy of second-half goals from Lorenz Hutchinson and Tommy Neale.
Hutchinson broke the deadlock two minutes after the interval, set up by Bobby Amartey, before Logan Briggs assisted Neale 20 minutes later to put the side coached by Leon McSweeney in a commanding position.
Although a clean sheet was denied by Zach Baumann's stoppage-time strike, that proved to be a consolation for the visitors, with Leicester moving on to 23 points from 14 matches, sitting eighth in the standings.
Next up, we travel to face West Ham United at Rush Green on Friday (7pm GMT kick-off).
