Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 9 noodles Lasagna noodles (no-boil)
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of butter.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Add Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Cook the mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place 3 no-boil lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce.
Spread a third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then a third of the shredded chicken, and a third of the sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella.
Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with a layer of sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
