Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 8x8 Baking Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 8 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Season with salt and pepper and stir until the sauce thickens.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the ricotta cheese and half of the parmesan.
  • Spread a thin layer of the white sauce in the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, then half the chicken mixture, followed by more sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
  • Repeat the layers once more, ending with noodles, remaining sauce, mozzarella, and the rest of the parmesan on top.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Let it rest for five minutes before slicing.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time on prep. If the sauce thickens too much while sitting, stir in a splash of milk before assembling. Leftovers reheat well in the oven at a low temperature to keep the creamy texture intact.
