Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 2 cups Fresh broccoli, chopped
• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Cook lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cool water, and set aside in a single layer to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and stir until thickened. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove the sauce from heat.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Spread a small amount of the cream sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Lay down a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread a third of the chicken and broccoli mixture over the noodles. Dollop half of the ricotta cheese over the mixture and spread lightly. Pour a third of the cream sauce on top.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a layer of noodles topped with the remaining cream sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese over the top of the lasagna.

Step 11

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
