Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Add garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer, stirring often, until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of white sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer with noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, half of the shredded chicken, one-third of the mozzarella, and one-third of the white sauce.
- Repeat the layers once more: noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, remaining chicken, another third of the mozzarella, and another third of the white sauce.
- Add a final layer of noodles. Top with the remaining white sauce, the rest of the mozzarella, and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Tip 1: For the best flavor and melt, shred your own mozzarella and Parmesan cheese from a block.
Tip 2: Don't skip the resting step! It's crucial for letting the layers set, which makes slicing much cleaner.
Tip 3: Rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver for this recipe.
