Ingredients
Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces lasagna noodles
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook chicken breasts in a pan with olive oil until no longer pink. Shred the chicken.
In a large skillet, sauté onion until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper.
To make the white sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth and thickened.
Spread a thin layer of white sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Layer with lasagna noodles, ricotta mixture, shredded chicken, and white sauce. Repeat layers.
Top with remaining white sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
Adjust seasonings to your preference.
For a richer sauce, use half and half instead of milk.
