Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 200 grams Ham slices
- 300 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Milk
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and shred or cut into small pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the same skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
To make the béchamel sauce, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 4 tablespoons of flour and cook for 2-3 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom of the dish.
Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Add a layer of shredded chicken, followed by ham slices, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and a thin layer of béchamel sauce. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of béchamel sauce on top.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
