Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5β7 minutes.
Stir in the cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of the creamy sauce at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer 3 sheets of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the shredded chicken evenly over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the remaining sauce and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers (noodles, chicken, sauce, mozzarella cheese) two more times, finishing with a final layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
To freeze for OAMC, allow the baked lasagna to cool completely. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake covered at 375Β°F (190Β°C) for about 30 minutes or until heated through.
