Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cook the Lasagna Noodles:
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Set the sauce aside.
- Assemble the Lasagna:
- In the prepared baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
- Add a layer of shredded chicken, then a layer of sliced ham. Sprinkle a layer of shredded Swiss cheese over the ham. Pour a little more sauce over the cheese.
- Repeat layers twice more: noodles, chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and sauce.
- Top with Cheese:
- For the final layer, place 3 more lasagna noodles on top and cover with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake:
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Once baked, let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips:
- You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience or leftover cooked chicken.
- For a crispier top, you can broil the lasagna for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, but be sure to watch it closely.
- Serve this lasagna with a side of steamed vegetables or a green salad for a complete meal.
