Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
• 2 cups Sliced ham, chopped
• 3 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Milk
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and lay flat on a sheet pan to prevent sticking.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Remove the sauce from heat and set it aside.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Lay 3 lasagna noodles in the dish to form the first layer.

Step 9

Spread 1 cup of shredded chicken over the noodles, followed by 3/4 cup of chopped ham, 3/4 cup of Swiss cheese, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Top with about 1 cup of sauce.

Step 10

Repeat the layering process (noodles, chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese, and sauce) two more times, ending with a top layer of noodles and remaining sauce.

Step 11

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer, followed by any remaining mozzarella and Swiss cheese.

Step 12

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 14

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
