Instructions

Step 1: Cook and Prepare the Chicken

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Cook in a pan over medium heat with a bit of olive oil until fully cooked (about 7-8 minutes per side).
  3. Let the chicken cool slightly, then shred it with two forks and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Creamy White Sauce

  1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Slowly whisk in milk, chicken broth, and heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

  1. In a bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, beaten egg, and chopped parsley.
  2. Set aside for layering.

Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread a thin layer of the creamy white sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  3. Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles.
  4. Spread half of the shredded chicken over the noodles.
  5. Add ⅓ of the ricotta mixture, followed by ⅓ of the remaining white sauce.
  6. Sprinkle ¼ of the mozzarella cheese over the layer.
  7. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  3. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
