Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 200 grams Ham slices
• 300 grams Mozzarella cheese
• 100 grams Parmesan cheese
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Milk
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and shred or cut into small pieces.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the same skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

To make the béchamel sauce, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 4 tablespoons of flour and cook for 2-3 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Add a layer of shredded chicken, followed by ham slices, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and a thin layer of béchamel sauce. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of béchamel sauce on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

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